Description

This is only the reversible mat for Diamond Checkers and Ringo, which is included in the
Compendium [www.thegamecrafter.com]
If you wish to purchase these games apart from that collection, you'll also need to order the following parts from The Game Crafter's store in order to play:
12 black, 12 white token chips
7 black, 4 white wooden discs

Originally published in 1948, Diamond Checkers adds to the classic Checkers a larger board, different rules of movement and a couple of different ways for pieces to be promoted. Be the first one to make use of the new rules to eliminate your opponent's pieces!

On the reverse side of the board is Ringo, a classic game from 1915 of unequal forces played on an unusual round board. Think you can take on an opponent with more pieces than you? Here's your chance to prove it!
