Technical details: Product Description One of our best sellers! pylos has won multiple awards around the world for “game of the year”. your goal is to place the last marble which crowns the pyramid. Reserve your marbles by promoting them to the next level or creating groups which allow you to remove marbles from the board. Pylos is a unique and satisfying challenge! Amazon.com With just four rules, this simple but elegant game from France's legendary Gigamic is easy to learn, and each full game of Pylos takes only 10 or 20 minutes to complete. But its simplicity is deceptive. The game--recognized by Games Magazine's Top 100, Mensa's Top Five Best Games, the Parents' Choice Gold Awards, and France's Oscar du Jouet and As d'Or--falls into that "minutes to learn, a lifetime to master" family of games, like chess or Go. Players stack 1-inch-wide wooden balls (light and dark) on a 9-by-9-inch board to form a pyramid, and whoever places the top ball wins. But clever rules concerning moving and removing the balls will have you second-guessing and thinking ahead to formulate the perfect strategy. --Paul Hughes
