About the Game

Pavé is an original kiwi strategy game.

A two player path building game played across a grid that is deceptively simple, emergently complex, and ruthlessly competitive, Pavé is a timeless game for all ages.

Pavé is a very simple game to play and understand. It has fewer rules than you expect.

To start the game each player grabs 5 Pavé tokens from the bag
Your goal is to use the paths on the tokens to connect your 2 board edges while your opponent is trying to connect the other 2 edges.

You alternate playing tokens, and top up after each turn.
Tokens may also be stacked to redirect the path.

The first player with a completed path to call "Pavé" wins the round.

The core game concepts are:

Randomization
Hidden Information
Connections
A Dynamic Board State

Pavé tests the player’s skills of

Pattern Recognition
Spatial awareness
Strategy and Planning
Calculating Probability
Bluffing and reading bluffs
