Hachette Boardgames will release Qawale, an abstract strategy game by Gigamic, into retail on February 1, 2022.
Qawale is a simple yet tactical game where players place stones on a board in order to be the first to get four of their stones in a row. Each player starts with eight stones in their color. There is a neutral-colored stone that is placed in the four corners of the board to start, but it then can also be used by players later on their turn. Players add a stone on top of any pile and move it across spaces on their turn, leaving a stone on top of every pile they cross. The game ends when a player to gets four of their color stones in a row, on the top of the piles, and wins.
The game box comes with 8 light stones, 8 dark stones, 8 neutral stones, and a game board. This game is for two players, ages 8 and up, and plays in 15 minutes.
