This out of print game is an interesting approach to a strategy game. Just as in checkers or chess, piece placement and movement are everything.The concept is simple, but the execution is very tactical and strategic. I have yet to win at this game, but I have a terrible urge to continue playing and try different strategies. I discovered it quite by chance,and it was very inexpensive.I would almost compare it with checkers on interlocking octagons and triangles-a truly fascinating concept. The directions are printed on the box, and they are straight forward and easy to understand.
