This beautiful and functional board has room for two teams of large marbles. Players take turns pushing the marbles around the board, with the goal of pushing six of the opposing player's marbles off the board. The central idea is that a column of marbles has weight given by the number of marbles in line. Someone will need to push with a heavier group of marbles in order to push the column along that axis. However, with six possible directions, it's difficult to defend yourself perfectly. Also, it's possible to play the game with up to six players when supplemental marble sets are purchased.

Excellent 2 player abstract

If for nothing other than the fun marbles, I give this game four stars. There is a lot to think about here, but like most abstracts, you can reach a point where there is nothing you can do to win. I don't find there are any great game-changing moves, but that is part of the charm. Excellent game.

Excellent Mind Bender

This is a wonderfully challenging two player game. Very strategic and really makes you think.
