Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
The new game from Games by Bright of Sweden this year is Exeo Duo (May, $35), a two-player abstract strategy game. Each player has four sets of matching pieces with each half of a set restricted to their half of the board, in a puzzling conundrum of getting all the pieces off the board. Exits on the left and right of the board exist, but both pieces in a set have to exit off the same side and at the same time. (Once your last set is ready to exit, it must do so from the center.) This is made more difficult by the movement rules: one piece moves once per turn while the other moves twice. Getting attacked by a matching shape from your opponent’s side is brutal.
