In 27, as many of your discs as possible must reach the other side. Sounds easy? It's probably the trickiest game of stacking in the world. —description from the publisher Einfacher geht es nicht: Meine Scheiben sollen ans andere Ende des Weges, das Ziel ist nur sieben Schritte entfernt. Aber nach jedem Zug ist alles anders: die Anzahl meiner Türme, die Höhen, die Zugweiten, sogar die Länge des Weges kann sich ändern... Und dann kommt mir noch der Gegner mit seinen Scheiben entgegen und ständig in die Quere. Der Spaziergang wird zum gefährlichen Eiertanz... 27 ist ein minimalistisches Taktikspiel für zwei Stapelkünstler die bereit sind mit jedem Zug ihre Strategien zu wechseln. —description from the publisher Google translation It does not get any easier: My discs are to be moved to the other end of the way, the goal is only seven steps away. But after every move everything is different: the number of my towers, the heights, the widths, even the length of the way can change ... And then the enemy comes with his discs and constantly in the way. The walk becomes a dangerous egg ... 27 is a minimalist tactic game for two stackers who are ready to change their strategies with each move.
