Yote - Ludos Africa Collection

The camel pieces have a satisfying weight to them, and the game mat lies flat right out of the bag. We learned the rules in about ten minutes and played five rounds straight.

The travel bag is surprisingly sturdy and fits everything neatly, so I can toss it in my backpack without worrying about pieces spilling. The rulebook is short and clear enough to get a game going in five minutes, though I wish the mat were a bit thicker for playing on uneven tables.

The travel bag and mat make it easy to bring this to game nights—the thick material feels proper, not flimsy. The purple camel pieces are a nice touch, though I wish the rulebook had a few more strategy examples. Still, it's a solid two-player game that hits the table often.
