Simple yet tactical, Qawale will rock your idea of strategy games. Lay stones on the path and try to line up four stones in your color.

Qawale is inspired by the tradition of stacking stones along trails and paths in nature. As you drop these stones along your path, this incredible game will transport you to a place where strategy and nature come together.
Each player takes 8 stones in their color. The third color is neutral and is placed in the 4 corners of the board.

On your turn, add a stone on top of any pile and move it. When moving a pile, you must leave a stone on each space you cross. The first player to get 4 of their stones in a row, looking at the board from above, wins the game.

I haven't actually played this game I just saw it on display in a board game shop and went "Stacking rocks? Omg this is just like on my favorite website, hexbear.net!" leo-point

But then I was like, "Does a random game about stacking rocks really warrant a whole post? I don't even have anything witty to say about it." But then I was like, "A post that's not very good? Omg this is just like on my favorite website, hexbear.net!" leo-point

    This looks heavily inspired by Tak which is basically a perfect game.
