What is Darter?

In short, Darter is a fast-paced strategy board game in which players place tiles to influence the movement of "darters" in an attempt to destroy their opponent’s base.

Darters move inexorably forward one space each round. If a Darter hits your base, you are destroyed. Only carefully placed tiles may save you.

Tiles create a highly charged landscape of threats and counter-threats, influencing the movement of darters with cranks, mirrors, walls, bombs, accelerators, and much more!

Place your base anywhere you like but beware . . . the edges of the board “wrap around” creating an exciting playing field with darters coming at you from all directions.

Darter will have you thinking ahead while scrambling to avoid defeat. It is never the same game twice!

See the Darter Demo for examples and descriptions of the pieces and how they work.
