About the game
Rushi is a fast-paced board game for 2 players. The object is to get all your cards to your opponent's side. Use strategies like blocking and trapping to beat your opponent. Every game is different, and you'll want to play over and over again to try new ways of outsmarting your opponent. Rushi is simple enough for a 5-year old to understand but has enough strategy for much more complex game play. This game has the spirit of classic board games like Checkers or Chess, but has a unique and fast-paced game experience. Gameplay: Each player starts with: 3 Single Arrow Cards 2 Side Arrow Cards 2 Corner Arrow Cards Each player begins with 6 cards on the board, and 1 card in hand. Players take turns placing the card in their hand on the board, and can only place their card on a square that one of their other cards is pointing to. Players cannot place their card on top of another card. When a player places their card on a square, they must pick up the card that was pointing to that square to play on their next turn.

Questions and answers
Rushi 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 Rushi is 10–60 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 Rushi for ages 5 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.
Rushi 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.
