## Description
Circular Reasoning: The Well of Power is an abstract strategy game that seems simple until you peel back its layers of depth. Created by two college students and award-winner at IndieCade 2014, it throws you into a wild race to the center of the board — a well of power surrounded by three concentric rings. Each player controls three pieces with different movement (square = 4 spaces, triangle = 3, circle = 2), but the kicker is the rotating gates that shift position based on pieces in each ring. You'll need memory to track gates, calculation to predict moves, and a dash of cunning to block opponents. It's like chess meets dynamic maze, with that sweet 'aha!' feeling when you spot a path nobody else saw. Plays in 30 minutes, but your brain will keep simmering over the moves for hours after.

## FAQ
### Is it kid-friendly?
Ages 10+ if they enjoy strategy games. Rules are simple, but the abstract thinking is challenging.

### Does it need different boards for 2 or 4 players?
Nope! Same board, but with more players it gets delightfully chaotic as more pieces block paths.

### Is there much luck involved?
Almost none. The only 'luck' is opponents' moves — and even those you can try to predict!

### Any solo mode?
Not officially, but fans created solo variants focused on solving the maze in X moves.

### Plastic or wooden pieces?
Wooden tokens in different shapes (square, triangle, circle), very durable and satisfying to handle.
