How to Play Thalamus

Chairman of the Board

Chairman of the Board

Watch “How to Play Thalamus,” a how-to-play guide for Thalamus from Chairman of the Board on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Chairman of the Board on YouTube:

Thalamus is an intense abstract strategy game where players are aiming to eliminate their opponents by navigating and manipulating an ever-changing board that is filled with dangerous Deflector Disks. Players take turns utilising one of the six available actions: MOVE, PUSH, PULL, SHOOT, ROTATE, or REMOVE to trap opponents and avoid being eliminated themselves. Thalamus has simple yet strategically rich and exciting gameplay designed to invoke feelings of traditional abstract strategy games.
