It's quite clever, and I have a third set of marbles so three can play.<br /><br />One problem with the game is that it may be too easy to defend, allowing no way to break through. To combat this, I've seen alternate starting positions that break the marbles up into groups -- could be interesting.<br /><br />These puzzle type games are great -- but what they require is at least two people who are really into them. Without that, they sit on the shelf.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866356608201365536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829360209113689355.post-37274915942209152482011-07-20T06:00:43.070-07:002011-07-20T06:00:43.070-07:00I agree this is a very good game.

It shows up pretty regularly at our Scout troop outings, and is always played when its there!SoFranklyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629984479802083360noreply@blogger.com
