Pipe Down

A family-friendly abstract game with layers of depth

Pipe Down is a fast-flowing, tile-laying game. Each player must attempt to create a direct flow of water from the starting piece to their city five levels away.

The game is easy to learn but difficult to win! Each player takes three tiles and keeps them hidden from opponents. On their turn, they must play one of these tiles to either build towards their end goal or block opponents from reaching theirs. Some tiles are trickier to place than others, and some hold the key to victory!

Through clever placement and devious thinking, players can sabotage their opponents’ routes and be the first to bring the water home!
