SETO

From BoardGameGeek:

SETO is an original two-player strategy board game played on a compact 4×4 board where every decision matters. Although the board is small, each game unfolds differently as players combine unique piece movements, anticipate their opponent's plans, and create scoring opportunities through strategic positioning. Each player controls eight unique pieces, each with its own movement abilities. By carefully moving, planning, and adapting, players form scoring patterns while disrupting their opponent's strategy. Every turn presents new possibilities, rewarding foresight, creativity, and tactical thinking over luck. The objective is simple: be the first player to score 7 points by completing recognized scoring patterns. Some patterns are worth 1 point, while the special Luna and Stella patterns are worth 2 points. After every score, the game continues with additional strategic mechanics that keep the board constantly evolving, ensuring that no two matches are ever the same. Easy to learn yet rich in strategic depth, SETO offers a fresh challenge every time you play, inviting you to discover new patterns, refine your tactics, and master the art of strategic thinking. -description from the designer
