Tumbleweed is an abstract strategy board game for two players, involving an hexagonal grid and pieces positioned according to line of sight.
Tumbleweed was created by Mike Zapawa during the COVID lockdowns[1] [2]
Tumbleweed was voted Best Combinatorial 2-Player Game of 2020 on the website BoardGameGeek.
Rules
[edit]Tumbleweed is played on a hexhex board. The two players take turns placing pieces numbered from 1 to 6.
Each piece has a "line of sight" to a hex cell, when they are connected by a straight line of empty cells, with no pieces in between. The new pieces can be placed on hexes that are seen by at least one friendly piece. The number of every newly-placed piece equals the number of friendly pieces that "see" the new piece. It is possible to replace a piece with a new one having an higher number. This works both to capture opponent pieces or to reinforce your own.
A pie rule is used before the game. One player sets up the board and the other decides which side he wants to play. Setup consists of a neutral "2" piece in the central hex, and a single "1" piece of each player color in any two cells.
The game ends when no more moves can be made by either player, or after two successive passes. The player who occupies more cells wins.
Equipment
[edit]Tumbleweed is played mostly online, but physical boards are getting more common, usually using 6-sided dice as pieces.
