Fractal (2010)

About this game

Fractal is a two player game. The unique board, shown in the figures, starts out empty. The two players, Red and Blue, take turns coloring cells with their own color, one cell per turn, starting with Red. Passing is not allowed. Draws cannot occur in Fractal. To win you must form a path of cells of your own color connecting the two border regions of your color.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
