Description

Simple Rules & Tough Decisions
The game’s tough because the players make it tough, not because the rules are confusing–just the way we like it. We love when we can teach a game in a minute and every player (new and experienced) is instantly competitive!

Organic Partnerships
Table talk, teamwork, and betrayal can all manifest in Switchbacks, with no formal rules for them. How will you play? One group might love the game as a quick, peaceful filler game while another group is still agonizing over a mid-game act of war.

Hidden Info
Each player looks at and discards one tile at the beginning of the game. Will it be the key to your opponents’ strategies? Can you leverage that small amount of hidden information and turn it into a decisive win? Or, even if your information isn’t that important, can you bluff to make it seem like it is?

Careful With Your Timing
Choosing to hike or buddy-up is a big decision! Be careful: go onto the board too eagerly and your opponents might block you or freeload off of your tiles. Go too late, and you might not have enough time to score!
