Control V

About this board game

Control V is an abstract strategy game for 2–4 players, with a playing time of about 30 minutes. Released in 2019, it challenges players to build the largest territory on the board.

The game centers on symmetry and the clever use of castle-shaped blocks. By using symmetry, players can copy and paste their blocks, enlarging their territory as the game progresses.

Control V presents its strategy through a focused abstract concept: place and reproduce your blocks to expand your presence. The copy-and-paste idea gives the game a distinctive identity while keeping territory at the heart of the experience.

Players compete to create the largest area on the board. The winner is the player with the largest territory, making expansion the key measure of success.

With support for 2–4 players and a stated play time of 30 minutes, Control V is suited to a group looking for a concise abstract strategy game. Its castle-shaped blocks and symmetry-based copying provide the essential tools for growing territory and pursuing victory.
