Absorbing to play. 2 players ages 9 and up. About 15 minutes per game. This is one of our favorite two-player strategy games. The board is hexagonal, with divots in which the marbles rest, and a track around the edge to catch them as they are pushed off.
Marbles make a satisfying clunk as they land in divots.
On his turn, a player may push up to three marbles together a single space in any of six directions. If your movement pushes an opponent's marble off the board, it is considered out of play and counts toward your goal of six. Beware overconfidence, though. Cutting your opponent's marbles from the herd may leave you open to attack as well. The board is heavy-duty black plastic, and the marbles are glass.
