1963 · Abstract Strategy
Focus
This abstract strategy game challenges players to leave their opponents with no legal moves. On a turn, a player moves a piece or stack a number of spaces equal to the stack’s size. Stacks may grow to five pieces; excess pieces are removed from the bottom. Captured pieces matching a player’s color are reserved and can later be re-entered anywhere on the board instead of making a normal move, while opposing pieces remain captured. Players use movement, captures, and reserved pieces to control the board and restrict future options.

Tom2.5 This game is popular because.... Why?
Focus es un juego abstracto diseñado en 1963 por uno de los padres de los Eurogames: Sid Sackson. El juego ganó el Spiel des Jahres en 1981 y esta imagen forma parte del contenido que hemos grabado junto a @despertalia y @lagacetadelostableros sobre los juegos que han obtenido el galardón y que empezaremos a emitir en septiembre. Focus es un juego curioso, sus componentes ochenteros llaman la atención con esos plásticos de colores y el tablero. Recuerda mucho a Dvonn del proyecto Gipf, al Othelo y a juegos similares de captura. Un pequeño quemacerebros que lamentablemente no es fácil de conseguir.
