Description

A beautifully crafted abstract strategy game. Your turn is in two parts, a passive (or set up) move and a more aggressive move, which must be the same direction and number of spaces as the first move. It is this second move that allows you to push stones across the board or shove them off the board's edge. Remove all four of your opponent's stones from just one of the four boards to win.

Contents

  • 4 Wood Boards (5.5")
  • 16 Black River Stones
  • 16 White River Stones
  • 1 Dividing Rope

Mechanisms:• Grid Movement
