90 DEGREE - a very high-quality tactical game

The strategy game 90 DEGREE by Gerhards Spiel und Design challenges players to think outside the box . What at first glance appears to be a simple marble game quickly reveals itself to be a fascinating tactical duel full of surprising twists and turns. The rules of 90 Degrees are very easy to explain: Each player receives 6 marbles and a winning marble. The goal is either to push the opponent's winning marble off the playing field or to move your own marble into the marked center space.

So far, so simple! But anyone who thinks they can reach their goal with a few quick moves soon realizes that this simple idea harbors unexpected strategic depth. Even with the first move, you realize that what sounded so easy is actually very complex in its execution. The initial moves are often just trial and error, but a fascinating dynamic soon develops, requiring spatial reasoning and foresight.

The distance a move can be made depends on the number of balls in the respective row – and the move is always offset by 90 degrees from the original direction. So, to move horizontally, you count the vertical balls; to move vertically, you count the horizontal ones. This clever rule adds tactical depth and surprising move possibilities.

The game board is presented in the usual high-quality wood from Gerhards Spiel und Design. The finely crafted surface allows for precise movement of multiple marbles simultaneously. This makes every game an exciting and aesthetically pleasing experience. 90 GRAD is a game for anyone who enjoys tactical thinking, strategic planning, and being captivated by elegant simplicity – and who always wants to think outside the box .
