Board Games

For two players who like to plan ahead, start with one of the traditional strategy games. Nine Men's Morris goes back at least to the Roman Empire. Fanorona comes from Madagascar. Tigers & Goats, the Bagh-Chal game from Nepal, is lopsided on purpose: one player's four tigers hunt the other player's twenty goats, and the goats win by trapping the tigers. Five Field Kono is a Korean game where you race to move all your pieces into your opponent's starting spots. Two more: the Fifty Game has you leapfrog pegs toward the 50 hole, and in Linex you turn octagonal pieces an eighth of a turn to complete a line of three. We make Nine Men's Morris, Fanorona and Tigers & Goats in our Hudson, Florida workshop, each with a wooden cover so the pieces stay with the board.

Chinese Checkers for 6 Players seats 2 to 6. It folds in half, latches shut and stores every peg inside, and it uses wooden pegs instead of marbles, so a bumped table won't scatter the game. Barricade is for 2 to 4 players: roll the die, race your marbles to the goal at the top of the board and block the others with barricades. The 45 Game and Factors Game set turns arithmetic into a board game: the 45 Game uses addition, and the Factors Game, for 2 to 4 players, uses multiplication and division.

The travel-size sets. Travel Checkers packs its pegs into the board under the cover, Chinese Checkers comes as a two-player travel set with a fitted cover, and Fox and Geese is a compact set with everything you need to play.

Yes. The Universal Game Board is double sided and plays at least 12 games on 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5 grids, with 37 maple playing pieces in three colors. The Go and Pente board has 1 to 19 and A to T coordinates laser-engraved for recording moves, and it comes with 175 pegs of each color. Because the pegs sit in holes, you can pack away a game in progress and come back to it later. The Solitaire and Peg Jump set puts two peg-jumping games in one box.
