This is a game board with 400 squares, 84 game pieces and an instruction guide. This is a tactical game that helps players to develop critical thinking skills. Players use the pieces to cover as much of the board as possible. Choose a color and the play proceeds clock wise in a strategic campaign to block opponents while expanding your territory. The game ends when all players are blocked. The winner is the player with the lowest total area of remaining pieces. This game has been popular in Europe and has come to the United States as a very popular product. There are many new wonderful products in the Educational Insight’s line. The 84 game pieces have four bright, translucent colors plus the instruction guide. It looks like a multi-dimensional Scrabble game. It has won some excellent awards already for its play value.
