Whether as a team game for four players or a duel for two, players in Lumis: Der Pfad des Feuers must create a path of glowing fire stones that connect to their tower blocks on the game board. Lumis is an abstract connection game in the tradition of classics like Hex and Twixt with each player (or team) trying to create a path from one side of the game board to its opposite side, but with the opposition working at cross purposes. To start the game, each side places tower blocks on the game board, then tries to build connections between these tower blocks using cards that match the colored spaces on the board. Once you have connected to a tower block, it's yours, but until you do so, the opponent can steal it from you. The first player or team to make a complete connection wins!
