Transfer (1983)

About this game

The gaming board consists of a middle column of nine rows that each can hold up to five tiles. To the left and right of this column, there are two sliding platforms that can hold up to three tiles. The starting player distributes 35 colored tiles (seven colors with five tiles each) on the nine rows in the middle. Then players take turn of loading and unloading tiles on their platforms, trying to make rows of five tiles in one color.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
