Overview
Pathways is a two-player flicking, dexterity game played on a uniquely crafted bamboo board with acrylic disks. The board has 46 symmetrical holes in a chessboard pattern. The goal of the game is for players to flick their 12 disks, in-turn, across the board into the opposite furthest row. As disks fall into the holes on the board, they create new flat surfaces making follow up shots easier. The player that gets most of their disks into their target row wins the game. There are specific match-game rules, where players compete to reach 11 points. The game board roughly measures about 12” x 15” and fits on most any surface and is easily portable. —description from the designer
