Nowhere to Go Strategy Board Game {Review + Giveaway}

7:22 AM Posted by Desi @ Wee Share

 In my household, we really like to play board games.  Raileigh is at the age where she has began to enjoy playing games with us.  However, it's also nice when Darren and I get to play those games that are a bit beyond her comprehension level.

Recently, we had the opportunity to check out a fun strategy game from Educational Insights.



Includes: Unique hexagonal game board, 2 playing pieces, and 40 blockers
For 2 Players
Grades 3+

The object is to trap your opponent in this step-by-step strategy game.  Here are the simple rules as to how you play:

1. Each player places his or her spy piece on the starting spaces.

2. Players take turns moving their spy piece as many spaces as they like across any bridges that are not     blocked.

3. Players end their turns by placing a blocker on any bridge.

4. The first player to trap the other spy with blockers wins!


Darren and I had the opportunity to play this game together, and I have to say that we both love it!  Game play is relatively quick, so we can play even when we don't have a lot of time. 

Plus, Nowhere to Go really is a lot of fun.  There is definitely strategy involved, and as we played the first time, I could tell that we both figured out things to help us play better during subsequent games.

I also like that the game isn't too large.  It's a great size to take along on road trips, picnics, or other outings where you might enjoy a little entertainment.  I am thinking that it might even be the perfect addition to our next camping trip.


We actually had a few moments to break out Nowhere to Go this morning before Darren went to work for the day.  We only had time for one game, and I am sad to say that Darren beat me.  I think that he was pretty proud of his victory!

Does Nowhere to Go look like a game that your family would enjoy?  I can pretty much guarantee that this is one strategy game you will want to play over and over again!  I am happy to announce that Educational Insights has agreed to send one lucky reader their very own Nowhere to Go Strategy game!
