Another great game by Blokus creator Bernard Tavitan. This is a very unique new game that challenges kids to change the way they think about winning, and strategize in a whole new way. The game is a fast-paced checkers-like scenario where simply moving your piece from one square to the next isn't even allowed. Players MUST jump and remove at least one piece each turn. And, since most pieces feature a combination of coloured triangles, chances are you'll be eliminating a piece that has some of your own colour on it. That was a very difficult concept for some kids to accept - they hated "eating" their own colours. Each playing piece depicts a combination of four coloured triangles. The number of triangles matching your colour is the maximum number of times you can move or jump that particular piece on any given turn. But those colours also represent your power on the board, because at the end of the game, the player with the most coloured triangles left on the board wins. So the...

Manufacturer's Description Exciting strategy game. The pieces are placed at random on the board, which makes each game different from another. The purpose of the game is to capture the most pieces you can by eliminating every piece you jump over and trying to keep as many pieces with your colour.
