Pocket Ops

July 1, 2017 By Heather Newton

Pocket Ops
Compare with Deluxe Print’n Play

Pocket Ops is a 2-player game for ages 8 and up.

Although players face the familiar goal of achieving a 3-in-a-row as in tic-tac-toe, this game introduces a catch: Any move you make will be taken back if your opponent can guess it! Plus, Specialists with tricky abilities add even more opportunities to get the better of one another.

What People are Saying About Pocket Ops

Pocket Ops is the fastest way I know to get into a white-knuckle staredown over a board game, either with my children, or my co-workers. Lightweight, fast, broadly appealing, and intensely replayable. I have to ferry my print-and-play copy between home and office every day, or I hear about it from disappointed challengers. Five Stars!

Benson, Kickstarter Backer

Pocket Ops is a fantasitic pocket-sized game that packs a real punch! For the size and cost, you really can’t go wrong here. My kids are already begging me [for] the final version.

Everything Board Games

This is an easy recommendation to make. The game is inexpensive, fun, and easy to teach. I would recommend this to just about anyone.
