Description
Big Potato Games are great at bringing out quick to learn, easy to play games. These are usually of the party and/or trivia style, but OK Play is their take on an abstract game.
OK Play is a connecting game where the object is to be the first player to connect five tiles in a row, orthogonally or diagonally. On your turn you place one of your brightly coloured plastic squares next to an existing square on the table. It must touch the side of an existing tile but other than that can be played freely.
The components themselves are something to behold as the tiles come on spindles which snap in to a central ‘base’ which has a carabiner style key ring on it. This means it’s a game that can be taken anywhere in literally any weather.
The game scales well, working at all player counts, but I particular enjoy three or four-player games where you have more devious interaction going on. For example, if the player before me has just made a row of four I have a choice to immediately block it or leave it to the other players while you further your own nefarious plans. Of course, this will be remembered and payed forward to you in future rounds!
OK Play is not going to win any awards for innovative gameplay, or top many best game lists, but it will be taken with you everywhere and probably played more than anything else in your collection!
