Read the full game description

Two players, seated on either side of a corner, fill up the board, creating routes to their respective opposite side. After the theory, the test. The board is tilted. A gentle touch releases the first player’s five balls, one by one, and gravity does the rest. Same procedure for the second player. Expanded by: Meander Expansion Set
