Notes
The board is quickly set up and each player on their turn will roll dice to see how many squares they're able
to move their stones. You must move all 5 of your stones throughout the board before your opponent. Be
strategic though, as your opponent can land on your pieces, sending you back to the beginning, to start
over again.

Fun 2 player strategy game
This game was an unexpected delight. My friend is a history buff and into strategy games (like Go and Settlers of Catan) and he was thrilled to have a new game to analyze. The rules are deceptively simple, and the dice introduce enough luck to keep the game exciting even if players are not matched in strategic thinking. The game is also simple enough to pick up quickly. Rounds take 10-20 minutes. 2 players is not ideal for a large gathering, but the rounds go by quickly and the game is entertaining enough for spectators that our 4 person group kept picking this game during a joint vacation. The game itself is well-made. The board is fabric, which means the box is small enough to fit in even our overstuffed game collection. The dice were satisfying to roll, and my friend said the game pieces reminded him of Go pieces. We're excited to introduce this to our game rotation.
