Pavé (2022)

Pavé is an original kiwi strategy game. A two player path building game played across a grid that is deceptively simple, emergently complex, and ruthlessly competitive, Pavé is a timeless game for all ages. Pavé is a very simple game to play and understand. It has fewer rules than you expect. To start the game each player grabs 5 Pavé tokens from the bag Your goal is to use the paths on the tokens to connect your 2 board edges while your opponent is trying to connect the other 2 edges. You alternate playing tokens, and top up after each turn. Tokens may also be stacked to redirect the path. The first player with a completed path to call "Pave" wins the round. The core game concepts are: Randomization Hidden Information Connections A Dynamic Board State Pavé tests the player’s skills of Pattern Recognition Spatial awareness Strategy and Planning Calculating Probability Bluffing and reading bluffs
