Zoom (2003)

Your goal: Place four of your tokens in a 2×2 square.

Your tools: The aforementioned tokens and the movement of same.

In Zoom, each player has a number of tokens that start on the perimeter of a 6×6 playing area. On a turn, you move one of your tokens from any edge of the board horizontally or vertically inward, stopping whenever you choose; you may not jump over previously placed tokens, whether yours or the opponent's. The first player to create a 2×2 square of his own tokens wins.

Differences between versions:

• The 2007 version of Zoom from Clemens Gerhards includes a second game from designer Frank Stark: TriHop, also previously published independently by HiKu Spiele and playable on the same game board as Zoom.

• The 2012 version of Zoom from Pegasus Spiele includes an as-yet-unnamed variant, possibly TriHop and possibly something else.
