Circular Reasoning
Publisher's Description:
Circular Reasoning is a two to four player game where players race each other to get all their tokens to the center of a circular board. The board alters itself as the game presses on, impacting how players interact with each other and how they intend to win.
Me and two friends played a couple of games of this at #PAXPrime2015. It's amazingly simple at first but you quickly figure out there is a lot of strategy involved. All three of us enjoyed the first game, so we decided a second round should be played. I would have purchased it that day but we had to rush off for a panel and weren't able to make it back to the booth.
However, I enjoyed the game so much I did a search for it on shopping sites as soon as I got home. I couldn't find it anywhere. So I went to the Breaking Games website and purchased it directly from them.
I've played many games of Circular Reasoning, with my wife and children (9 and 12 years old), and they were able to catch on very quickly. Since I had played before I won the first couple of games, but they were quickly able to figure out the strategy of blocking and moving their pieces and we all ended up trading wins.
I recommend this game as an alternative to checkers or other basic strategy games. Individual games are fairly quick, at around 20-30 minutes, even with 4-players.
After I purchased this game from the publisher, I checked a few months later and found that it is now on Amazon.com. Here is a link to it:
