Abalone
How do you create a game that has sold over 4
million copies in 30 different countries? Easy, just make it a game
that anyone can learn in one minute, but that may take a lifetime to
master. Loosely based on sumo wrestling, the point of Abalone is to
push just 6 of your opponents 14 marbles off of the playing surface,
but there is a catch. It takes two marbles to move one, and three to
move two. Simple? Yes. Simplistic? By no means! The six directions
of movement allow for infinite strategies both offensively and
defensively. For 2 players.

Abalone Travel Edition
Take a little French fun with you wherever you go!
The strategy game that has taken Europe by storm is conquering the
USA, one vacation at a time.
The concept is simple: all you need to do is knock
six of your opponent's marbles off the game grid. But you can only
move the other player's marbles if you have more than s/he does. And,
because moves are diagonal, there are dozens of options for every
turn.
This travel version is lightweight and compact, plus
it comes with a lid, in case you need to save your game for later.
Find out why this game takes five minutes to learn and a lifetime to
master!

Hive
Hive is a board game with a difference. There is no
board! The pieces are added to the playing area thus creating the
board. As more and more pieces are added the game becomes a fight to
see who can be the first to capture the opposing Queen Bee.
The soldier ants battle to keep control of the
outside of the hive, whilst the Beetles climb up to dominate the top.
Spiders moving into holding positions as the Grass Hoppers jump in for
the kill. Keeping one eye on the hive and the other on your opponents
reserves, the tension builds as one wrong move will see your Queen Bee
quickly engulfed; .... game over!

Hive: The Mosquito - Additional Hive Pieces
The Mosquito pieces can be added to a standard Hive
set before the start of the game giving each player 12 pieces to play
with.
During the game, they are placed in the same way as
the other pieces. Once in play, the Mosquito takes on the movement
characteristics of any creature it touches at the time, thus changing
its characteristics throughout the game.

Pentago
Pentago is a fast and fun strategy game that is both
simple and sophisticated at the same time. The object of the game is to
create a row of five marbles, in any direction. But the mind twisting
part is that you will also twist one of the four game blocks as part of
your move. This causes the game board to constantly change, making for a
perpetually challenging game experience, both for beginners and masters
alike.

Quadrago
Players alternate turns placing a wooden bead of their
color onto a board consisting of 16 steel bars in a 4x4 grid. The object
is to get 4 beads of your color in a row.
Each bar can hold 4 beads to give a third dimension to
the strategy. The middle 4 bars can also rotate to add more complexity
to the game.

Octego
Octego is as easy to play as Checkers but as
challenging as Chess. It's a two-player strategy game that combines the
best elements of both these games on a uniquely designed game board.
Each player begins with eighteen pieces: two "Octego
pieces", and sixteen other pieces that may move one, two, or three
spaces per turn, depending on how each is labeled. Players must either
capture both Octego pieces from the opponent or move one of his or her
own Octego pieces to the opposite side of the board.
The real challenge comes from playing on a board that
is actually two separate grids of spaces. Pieces on one grid may not
interact with pieces on the other, although pieces may at times change
grids. This allows players to try two different strategies at the same
time!
Octego can be learned in just a few minutes, but
you'll have years of fun trying to master it!

memory and surprise.
