About this game

The aim of the game is to line up 4 of your balls in a row. A player cannot move a ball by itself or with a ball of their own color. Moves must be made with an adjoining ball of their opponent's! The two balls are then moved together as a single unit, in any direction. Contents: 1 wooden playing surface, 18 wooden balls, instructions.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
