Overview
What ABG knows about this game
BoneGames produces a number of do-it-yourself free games. You download a PDF containing rules and components, and print out what is required for play. The Way is a two-player strategy game played on a 5x5 grid of cards, which are rotated and replaced to form paths to move upon. The first player to get to his destination, to find The Way, is the winner. The Way is very simple to play, but deviously so. Can you be the master of The Way? The object of the game is to get from your Start card to your Midpoint card and back again. By rotating and replacing cards, you try to open a Way for yourself whilst closing your opponent's. A game normally consists of three rounds of play. Several variants are listed in the rules.
