About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a particle duel in Quantum Control! This abstract strategy game pits two players against each other on a hexagonal board, where area control is the key to victory. The gameplay is divided into two phases: first, you strategically place your particles across seven distinct areas. Then, the magic happens: your particles gain the ability to 'jump' to capture opponent pieces. The jump distance is determined by the number of adjacent friendly particles – the more same-type neighbors, the further you can leap and the more enemies you can take down! The objective is simple, but the execution is deep: secure a majority in more areas than your opponent. Developed by Néstor Romeral Andrés and Kanare Kato, the game is an expansion of Quantum Leap, utilizing a double-sided board that allows you to enjoy both titles. It's the kind of game you look at and think 'easy to learn, hard to master,' perfect for those who enjoy tactical challenges and a good head-to-head battle.
