THE GRID GAME

- Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality per se. -   
Charles Eames

In a world of virtual connections, our games have gone digital. Gone are the sacred moments when we used to gather around a table and played with physical objects; Nowadays, few families keep this tradition alive. To bring back this ritual, board games need to adapt and evolve, be easier to understand, faster to start, interesting to finish and be able to engage people to keep playing round after round. 

Estudio Victor Aleman has designed The Grid Game by keeping all these essential features of an exciting board game in mind. We think it’s time like this we need to play board games again.
