Designer: Claude Clément

Claude Clément created Slide, a quick-moving abstract strategy game published by Gigamic that challenges players to think spatially while racing against opponents. The game exemplifies Clément's knack for elegant mechanics that are immediately accessible yet reward careful planning, as players shift tiles to create pathways and block rivals in a tightly structured puzzle environment.

Fans of streamlined, brain-burning abstracts will appreciate Clément's design sensibility—these are games that play quickly but demand sharp tactical thinking. Slide works beautifully for 2-4 players seeking a competitive filler with minimal rules overhead, making it ideal for families looking to graduate beyond basic roll-and-move games or hobby gamers wanting something tense between heavier sessions.
