About the game
Get ready for an atomic duel in Quantum Control, an abstract strategy game where you manipulate elementary particles! The gameplay is divided into two phases: first, each player places their particles in seven areas of the board, in a kind of quantum chess. Then, the magic happens: your particles gain the ability to 'jump' to capture opponent pieces. The strength of this jump is determined by the number of adjacent friendly particles of the same type – the more neighbors, the greater the reach! The objective is simple, but the execution is complex: whoever controls the majority of areas at the end of the game takes the glory. This title is an evolution of Néstor Romeral Andrés' game Quantum Leap, and you can still play the original version on the reverse side of the board. It's pure strategy, with not a drop of luck, perfect for those who enjoy mental challenges and direct confrontation. With a hexagonal board and brisk gameplay, Quantum Control promises intense matches full of twists.
