Games Magazine – Year's Best Games

We invite you to enjoy a simple, quick-playing, novel, and beautifully produced game that pits Red against Blue. The handsome board’s seven triangular islands mark the corners, edges, and center of a larger triangle. Similarly, each island has seven holes. Red begins with a Red peg starting in the middle island’s center hole. Start turns by moving a peg of your color from one hole to another on the same island, or to a corresponding hole on a different island. Then place an opponent’s peg in the vacated hole. You control an island by having three of your pegs there in a row, or by occupying all of its edges. If you control three islands in a row on the large triangle (or those on the edges) you win!
