Mijnlieff is tic-tac-toe on steroids: you need to form lines of 3 pieces, but your opponent dictates WHERE you can play each turn. Every piece you place comes with a mandatory instruction for the rival - like 'play diagonally' or 'move to an adjacent space'. The result? A pure strategy game that makes you think 5 moves ahead, with quick (10-minute) yet intense matches. The 4x4 modular board and wooden pieces add tactile charm, while the drawstring bag for random piece selection spices things up. Winner of UK Games Expo's best abstract game, it's perfect for lovers of no-frills brain duels. Pro tip: blocking opponents to earn a free move is the key to victory!
