UPTHRUST is that rare animal - a game equally exciting for 2,3, or 4 players, two partnerships, AND a superb brain-teasing puzzle for solo play. Your aim is to outscore the opposition by progressing up the board into the scoring zone, then manoeuvering into the best slots. The length of your moves are determined by the number of pieces in the horizontal row of the piece you select to play - unusual, but very interesting.
