Description

[Edit] [History]

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 the opposing player's pieces 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 three possible directions, it's difficult to defend yourself perfectly. Also it's possible to play the game with three players when a supplemental marble set is purchased.
