Game Review (Detail): Without a doubt, one of the most unique, yet deceptively simple games to come out in a long time. Our family just loves it. There's no time-intensive set-up or learning curve, and it combines both luck, and strategy, in equal measure. I think there is also an educational element, as it requires players to think ahead, view the gameboard and pieces as a whole, and strategize. No doubt it's good for the old brain cells! Sometimes the simplest games are the best, aren't they? In addition, the quality of the gameboard and pieces is well-worth the price. This game will last for years to come, and will provide hours of family enjoyment. (PS -- there is a travel version of this game available as well!)
