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. Tiles with blue caps must be connected to others with a blue cap. And tiles with a + sign can be placed on top of existing pieces, which can often turn defeat into victory.
Through clever placement and devious thinking, players can sabotage their opponents’ routes and be the first to bring the water home!

REVIEWS
“I adore this little tile layer. It is full of strategy and surprising depth. At first, you think it will be over in moments, but then you realise the clever little layers in this simple ruleset and. oh my – it’s a wonderful experience.”
