Abstract Strategy

Magnet won 2010 Runner Up Abstract Game of the Year in Games Magazine.

An abstract game where players try to get their king to the middle of the board. Each player has 12 blocks, 11 of which can be promoted 1, 2, or 3 times, thus increasing their movement capability (the king cannot be promoted so don't promote all your other pieces, or you will give away your king's location). A "magnet," a black pawn, is placed on a gridded point and affects all of a player's pieces on lines radiating out from that point, moving them closer to the magnet. You can capture other pieces in this way, removing them from the board.

DaVinci's Mancala is an intelligent adaption of DaVinci's Challenge to classic mancala. Probably the first mancala with tile placement and pattern building. Subtle strategies guarantee an excellent challenge.

From the publisher's website:

Two combatants must outsmart each other in their attempt to maneuver their sphere to the opposite side of the playing field. But to do so, each rival must first lay down a course of wooden blocks from which their sphere can be catapulted. Moving the blocks like Knights in the game of Chess, precise positioning is of the utmost importance in order for the sphere to capture the win.

In this fast-paced game, suggestive of basketball meets Chess, two players try to move their marble to the opposite side of the board, using 5 wooden "blocks" as passing instruments. A player may either pass the ball or move a block like a Knight in a game of Chess. The ball may be passed in any direction, but the block with a ball may not be moved. It is competitive, it is strategic, and it is quick. So get ready to Razzle-Dazzle your opponent.

The dream of creating a new civilization in ancient Mesopotamia is within reach. Are you ready to lead your population ?

In the age of its maximum splendor, this vast and fertile geographical area was a scene of destiny for some populations, who resolved to settle in the richest and most strategically advantageous territories. Over the course of centuries these populations succeeded in developing all aspects of their civilization wisely. This was the main factor enabling them to found marvelous cities like Ur and to construct gigantic buildings like Ziggurats.
Just like Mesopotamia’s ancient Kings, each player will have to achieve the highest prestige by precisely dosing the development of Agriculture, Trade, Politics, Culture and finally War, so that thanks to these efforts the long desired construction of five Ziggurats is completed.

But, beware…
If the King becomes guilty of Greed in building them, or pursues improperly the conquest of Lands, this could ultimately lead him to defeat. The intrinsic speed of the game, the simplicity of rules, the very alluring artwork, together with the subtlety of the innumerable strategies which can be pursued, render Ur a gaming experience which you will play and play and keep playing again for a very, very long time!
