Reviews

More often than expected, I find myself thinking I have my opponent cornered, only to watch them squirm out of my grasp, or sprout spiked tendrils of their own.
Dan Thurot Owner of Space BiffI would play this anytime over Onitama. I think it's going to be a good one to have around, a good replacement for Chess.

"Thrive feels like an exciting, fresh injection into the world of abstract games – one that does something significantly different, but remains as streamlined and pure as you'd want from an abstract game. If you're after a thinky abstract for two players, give this one a try."
Jon Purkis Owner of Actualol
I can't find anything about this game that prevents me from wanting to put it back on the table right away. It's a phenomenal tabletop experience that should surprise everyone who gets it. I'm giving Thrive a score of Evolutionary.

Thrive is what you would get if you reached inside of chess and turned it inside out.

Thrive is a beautiful and easy to learn game that will bode well for both the strategic or more casual gamer. Thrive gets a 3/3 from us as it is a game we will happily pay for given the price point and what you get for the money.

The abstract audience is going to love it... The pond is as deep as you want to make it.

It's a lovely abstract game... Despite having a prototype copy already I will be backing the game on Kickstarter to get additional copies for the classroom. The game provides great opportunities for students to develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

I've not seen a movement mechanic like this before, and I think it's pretty unique... it's fun. I like this one a lot.
