## Description
Ever seen those little stone piles left along nature trails? Qawale takes that relaxing concept and turns it into a pure, frantic strategic duel! Forget complex rules; the concept is simple, but don't be fooled: the tactical depth is massive. The goal is straightforward: you want to align four stones of your color in a sequence, looking down at the board. But how does it work? Each player has 8 stones of their color, and there's a third neutral color placed in the corners of the board. On your turn, you pick a stack of stones and add one more stone to the top. Here's the twist: when you move that stack, you must leave one stone in every space you cross. This means the board is constantly shifting, with stacks growing and paths being created or destroyed in seconds. It's a game of constant movement, where one wrong move can pave the way for your opponent's victory. It's fast, it's tense, and it's perfect for anyone wanting a logic duel without wasting time with massive manuals. If you love abstract strategy games that you can explain in 30 seconds but will still make your brain work hard, Qawale is for you!
