The Little Strategy Game You Can Take Almost Anywhere

Some games are wonderful right up until you have to take them somewhere. Then comes the giant box, the bags of pieces, and the sinking feeling that if one tiny part goes missing, the game is never quite the same.

Bead Battle™ takes a different approach.

The standard game measures about 11 inches by 4 inches by 1 inch and consists of a wooden board with four dowels and 18 wooden beads. That’s it.

Coffee Shop Competition

One customer discovered Bead Battle™ at a coffee shop, played it with her children, and later wrote about how the kids kept playing as they worked out the strategy.

That makes sense. A coffee-shop table doesn’t leave room for a sprawling game with hundreds of pieces. A compact two-player challenge is a different story.

Set it down. Order your coffee. Battle.

It Works Beyond Game Night

Another customer encountered Bead Battle™ at a Michigan winery and brewery and enjoyed it enough to order one after getting home. That same reviewer mentioned taking the game along to play with family, coworkers, and even people at conferences.

That’s not a traditional “game night.” And maybe that’s the point. Games don’t have to stay in the game closet.

Put It on the Desk

Bead Battle™ also works as a desk or office game. It looks good sitting out, and the rules are simple enough that a coworker can learn them fast.

Imagine replacing the usual five-minute office break with a quick challenge. A few moves later, one person is staring suspiciously at the other and saying, “You’re setting me up.”

Maybe.

Bring a Little Competition With You

Family gatherings. The cottage. A waiting room. A conference. A lunch break.

The best game isn’t necessarily the one with the biggest box. Sometimes it’s the one that actually gets played.

Bead Battle™ is small enough that bringing it along doesn’t need to become an event of its own. And once someone asks, “What’s that?” you’ve already found your next opponent.
