Yavalath is a simple and quick two-player turn based board game that sees each player taking turns in placing a hexagon of their assigned colour onto a hexagonal board
Discovered by Cameron Brownes Ludi program the rules of the game are simple, the first person to create a line of 4 hexagons of their colour in any direction wins but creating a line of 3 hexagons in a row results in a loss.
Whilst simple on the surface there are endless different play styles and strategies; will you try and set your tiles up so that you can complete two lines of 4 at the same time so you can’t be blocked? Will you force your opponent to lose by having to block your line of 4 only to create their own line of 3?
