Tapas – A Delicious Duel of Strategy, Timing & Tactical Pushes!

Get ready for a fast and clever head-to-head battle with Tapas, an abstract strategy board game where every move can push you closer to victory — or accidentally serve points to your opponent!

Inspired by the fun and flavour of Spanish tapas culture, Tapas challenges two players to strategically place their tapas pieces on the board, push opposing pieces, and collect them as points. The twist? Your own pieces can also be pushed off the board, giving valuable points to your opponent.

With easy-to-learn rules, colourful components, and surprisingly deep tactical decisions, Tapas is an excellent choice for players who enjoy quick 2-player strategy games, abstract puzzles, and interactive spatial gameplay.

How to Play Tapas

Each player chooses a set of tapas pieces and takes turns placing them onto the board.

To enter the board, your tapas must push an opponent's tapas. Once placed, the value of your tapas determines how far it moves along the line, potentially pushing other tapas pieces in its path.

The objective is simple: push your opponent's tapas off the board and collect them for points.

However, every push requires careful consideration. If you push too aggressively, you may accidentally send your own valuable tapas off the board and give your opponent an opportunity to score.

When all tapas have been played, players count the value of the tapas they have collected. The player with the most points wins!
