Nile (1967)

About this game

The object of Nile is to outscore your opponent through the skillful placement of tiles to form a continuous line across the board. Strategy, skill and luck of the draw determine the path of the line as each player competes for high score. The winner is the player who has the highest total score at the end of the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
