Gridopolis

The tabletop 3D STEM strategy game.  Build. Jump, Capture. Win!

An innovative strategy game where players use 7 basic parts to build and play games. With familiar rules from checkers, chess, and tic-tac-toe, it’s fast and easy to learn. No two games are the same.

Start with pads, posts and links to build your playing gridset. Then use nodes to modify any pad’s function. Finally, use markers to move around the gridset, capture opponents, and score points. To capture an opposing marker, jump over the marker in a straight line into an open pad.

 The three-dimensional gameplay is open-ended so players can modify the layout during a game. Just “add-a-pad” to grow the gridset or play the “blocker-box” to reduce the open spaces. Win by capturing your opponents until you are the last player standing, or play a timed game and win by scoring the most points.

Seven basic parts:

•  Pad – landing space
• Link – connects pads horizontally
• Post – connects pads vertically
• Teleporter Node – Allows marker to teleport to any other open pad
• Blocker-Box Node – Take pad out of action for rest of the game
• Kingerizer Node – Marks your starting “home row”. Opponents land here to get “kinged”.
• Player Marker – playing piece

 Game includes 63 pads, 88 links, 16 posts, 12 kingerizers, 6 teleporters, 8 blocker-boxes, 24 markers, rules.  1-4 players.
