Abstract Games
Abstract games
In abstract board games, thoughtful game mechanics play a major role. The theme is only marginally present, or not present at all, and you can concentrate fully on what strategy you choose to achieve victory. The abstract board games go to the very heart of the gameplay and logical thinking, which you can't do without here.
Many abstract games are suitable for two players. These include classics like chess, go and checkers. However, there are also abstract games for larger groups of players. Modern abstract games win their fans over all by their novel ideas and mechanics, and the new ways in which players have to think about them when playing the game itself. Not to mention their stunning graphics! Filters like game time, number of players or difficulty will help you find exactly what you're looking for.

"My next several hours were spent learning how to play tak. Even if I had not been nearly mad with idleness, I would have enjoyed it. Tak is the best sort of game: simple in its rules, complex in its strategy. Bredon beat me handily in all five games we played, but I am proud to say that he never beat me the same way twice." -Kvothe Tak is a two-player abstract strategy game dreamed up by...
