Pitch Out is a board game released in 2020 for 2 players, 5–10 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Adrien Charles and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers and Flicking.
Pitch Out (previously announced as Conflickt) is a disk-flicking game with tactical elements in which players try to take out or isolate the opponent's leader. The game is played with a bunch of disks (5-8 for the base sets) and five "walls". In turns, players place their pieces and two walls on their side of the field. Then, they start flicking one disk per turn, trying to push the opponent's disks out of the field. Each disk has a special power, for example the Assassin just needs to touch an opponent's piece to take it out, so players need to play tactically. The first player to take out the opponent's leader or all their other pieces wins the game.
Pitch Out supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Pitch Out is 5–10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Pitch Out for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Pitch Out has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
