Kulami is that kind of pure strategy game that looks simple at first glance but hides layers of depth that will fry your brain (in a good way, of course). The game is played on a modular board made of wooden tiles of different sizes, meaning the battlefield changes completely every single game. The goal is straightforward: you want to dominate as many wooden pieces as possible by strategically placing your marbles. The mechanics are a masterpiece of elegance: you place your marble in a row or column opened by your opponent's previous move, but watch out—you cannot place it on the same piece they just used! This detail creates a constant flow of 'if I go there, he can come here.' Throughout the game, you'll try to complete rows, columns, or areas to secure bonuses and, most importantly, secure the majority of marbles on each wooden piece. If you manage to get the majority of marbles on a piece, you claim all the points corresponding to its spaces. It's a game of precision, where every move can open a golden opportunity or a path to defeat. It's the perfect game for those who love a good logic challenge, enjoy premium wooden components, and want a quick yet intense match. Get ready for tactical twists with every move! ## FAQ ### How many players is the game for? Kulami is strictly a 2-player game, focused on a direct duel. ### How long does a game last?
