Pentago Mechanic is typically Swedish in the simplicity of design and
understated elegance of its presentation. A multiple international award-winner,
Pentago is destined to become a modern classic.
The rules to this game are so simple, but don't be fooled. This is a fantastic
game that is easy to learn and play, but with a twist of one of the four playing
quadrants, winning is another matter.
To start, each player selects their colour (Black or White) and then take turns
to;
1. Place a marble of their colour on the board, and
2. Twist any of the 4 quadrants on the playing board a quarter turn (90
degrees).
The winner will be the first to line up 5 of their colour in a straight line
(vertical, horizontal or diagonal).
It may sound simple but the twisting of quadrants changes the face of the board
and the game!
A great red-wine game for adults and educational game for the kids to develop
spatial awareness and logical reasoning. This is one game that will have you
playing again and again and it looks good enough to leave out on the table.
