Where it came from
NEON is a 2023 abstract strategy game published by Hobby World, designed to fit into the company's established tradition of approachable, modern tabletop experiences. The game centers on a grid-based tile-placement mechanism where players compete to create patterns of light and color, drawing inspiration from retro-futuristic aesthetic themes. It was developed to serve as a fast-paced, visually striking filler game that emphasizes spatial reasoning and tactical blocking.
The design of NEON focuses on minimalist iconography and high-contrast components that evoke a distinct cyberpunk atmosphere. By stripping away complex narrative elements, the designers intended to highlight the purity of the underlying mechanics. Upon its release, it was received as a sleek addition to the hobbyist market, noted by reviewers for its portable format and the satisfying, tactile nature of its components, which help ground the game's abstract objective.
