Description

Tired of the same old ordinary Checkers games? Looking to open up the game to new possibilities? Here's your chance; play Checkers (and other games or variants) on this board made up of 1.5" wide hexagons in a trihexagonal pattern. Included are rules and more than enough pieces to get you started, but you will want to scour the web for other games that will fit this 61-hexagon (5 to a side) board. It's not just a game, it's a game system!

Update: Now included is a 10"x10" double-sided board with a 37 hexagon field on one side and a 19 hexagon field on the other. More possibilities!

NOTE: Rules for play are no longer included. You may easily find rules for play on the web. Some suggested games for you to search: Yavalath, Pentalath, Cross, Manalath, Taacoca, Susan, Yavalade, Yavalanchor, Quantum Leap, Checkers 3.

NOTE: Due to The Game Crafter discontinuing their boxes, this game is now published without a box.
