About the Game

Step into the world of Branchbourne with Cycle, a traditional 2 player mancala style game played by the denizens of the kingdom.

Cycle is a strategic abstract game for 2 players where you sow seeds, grow your resources, capture your opponent's seeds, and maneuver your Beetles around three interconnected cycles.

Each turn, choose one of your beetles, then pick it and all pieces in it's bowl up, then sow them clockwise around one of the three cycles on the board. Special Growth and Capture pieces let you grow your own seeds onto the board and capture your opponents seeds. You must grow all your own seeds and capture at least 12 points of your opponents seeds to win the game!
