Balance Duels (2005)

About this game

Balance Duels is a SPIEL 2005 release by a tiny Dutch publisher. The game is played like backgammon, except that the track is a teeter-totter and players cannot make a move that would put the device out of balance.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
