Down Under

This is a very clever game of interlocking roads. Players aim to get the longest route by taking advantage of other players’ tiles as well as their own. However, you can only play your own tiles and only when it's youtr turn, so the others tend to get in the way.

The original game (Schlangennest) is an old favourite of mine and this version adds some neat touches and an Australian flavour. Not to mention a whole second game, Sturt's Stony Desert, which uses the flip side of the tiles.

For 2-4 players, aged 8+, playing time 30 minutes: £15.00
