A well designed "backgammon-ish" cooperative game from Family Pastimes. Players must carefully weave their pieces past each other to Home (the opposite corner). A traffic jam will lose the game for everyone. Tactics involve self-sacrifice, luck of the dice and cleverness in using the opportunities that Chance provides. For younger players, set it up with fewer pieces. For serious strategists, the game can be recorded as you delve into the intricate world of openings, and mid and endgame tactics.
This game and all its pieces are printed on recycled cardboard with organic inks. The playing pieces are wooden. The 2 dice are plastic. We carry this game despite its plastic dice because it is fabricated 100% locally in Ontario.
Kids Like: Version for younger children. It is fun to work together to find the best solution.
Parents Like: Fun as a family game or advanced versions are very challenging for adults as well!
Please note - this is a multi-lingual version, with instructions French and English.
