There are also several degrees of victory, the highest of which is rarely attained. The game shown is actually the beginners version. And, no, I'm not giving anything else away! ;-)<br />Dia Sobin (Araqinta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03398194511342193439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098887240471953238.post-52127403606661554922016-09-30T17:25:26.910-06:002016-09-30T17:25:26.910-06:00I can see the possibilities in the play of this --...I can see the possibilities in the play of this -- somewhat akin to chess or Go, each move changes the dynamics of the play.

But, as the Shadow King advised, one is guided by the hexagons. ;-)<br />Dia Sobin (Araqinta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03398194511342193439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098887240471953238.post-19953405453054965052016-09-30T06:13:20.929-06:002016-09-30T06:13:20.929-06:00That is cool....so the pieces simply flip and tip ...That is cool....so the pieces simply flip and tip into place as one moves.....a transition of planes....BG Dodsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06781353558372397870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098887240471953238.post-80110182352055256852016-09-29T14:41:35.683-06:002016-09-29T14:41:35.683-06:00You're welcome, BG, I'm glad you liked it....You're welcome, BG, I'm glad you liked it. I don't know that being "oblique" always works to one's advantage... but, as for "the world is unsuspecting," well, I like that! :-)<br /><br />What's coolest about the game pieces is the way they're moved... they're never lifted off the board, but, rather, tipped into place.<br />Dia Sobin (Araqinta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03398194511342193439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098887240471953238.post-52452236267250610892016-09-28T22:14:16.532-06:002016-09-28T22:14:16.532-06:00Well...I think the game pieces are cool.
