About the game

What you do in a play session

Qomet is a minimalist abstract strategy game where you create connected territories by moving colored stars. Each player starts with 7 stars and on your turn, you can either place a new piece or move an existing one along the modular board's lines. The 'pushing' mechanic is the game's heart: if you land on an occupied space, you push the opposing piece (or your own!) to the next connected space—potentially knocking it off the board. Your goal? Form the largest continuous square with your stars while disrupting your opponent's formation. With rules you can teach in 30 seconds but strategic depth for hours of brainy duels, Qomet channels tactical elegance reminiscent of classics like Santorini. The wooden board and chunky pieces give it artisanal charm, perfect for abstract game lovers who appreciate premium components.
