Block Arena, an abstract game for 2 players. In Block Arena each player controls 4 blocks and 1 meeple. Players move their blocks and meeples, with the aim of making their own meeple reach the opposite side of the board. A match lasts about 15 minutes. The game is very simple to learn, but hard to master, and it has a very good amount of replayability. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Block Arena was designed and created by Marco Boschiero between May and June 2018, in Rome. Now Block Arena is also on Tabletop Simulator, thanks to Fernando Fiorenzano and Michele Cristofani! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2919125856 Here's the Facebook page where you can find informations about the game and share comments and playtests!
