Slow6

Slow6 is a quick two-player strategy game where nothing is hidden and nothing is safe.

Each side has five pieces ranked 1 to 5, all in plain view. Bigger usually wins, but not always: the 1 and 2 are giant-killers, so a small piece can take down a big one if you read the board well. Equal pieces knock each other out.

THE GOAL Promote a piece to a 6 and bring it home, wipe out your opponent, or lead on points when the moves run out. A 6 beats everything except another 6, but it moves slowly and can be stunned, so getting it home is a game in itself.
