Lasso

A deceptively simple tile placement and enclosure game, Lasso pits two players against each other to rotate, flip, and exchange hexagonal tiles to be the first player to create a full contiguous loop around the center cow tile.

There are at least one of the two patterned ropes on every tile in play, striped and solid. There are special tiles with two of one pattern, or a "wild" rope that can be used by either player. On your turn, you may do one of the following: A) rotate a tile in its current position B) exchange two tiles in the play area without changing their orientation or C) exchanging a tile in the play area with the single tile you have in your hand. You may not take an action to simply reverse the other player's previous turn.

Weigh the odds of every tile you place and keep track of all of your possible lassos while looking out for your opponent's lasso. Be the first to round up that cattle before the other wrangler! Giddy up!
