About the game

A 2-player abstract strategy game where the aim is to get your 12 pieces to the opposite side. They start and must finish in 4 stacks with a 'number 3' on top, a 'number 2' in the middle and a 'number 1' on the bottom (numbers are embossed on the pieces). The numbers determine the steps each piece must move and also indicate the highest level they may climb to and move at on top of other pieces. Also comes with 4 other variants. Chunky wooden pieces and a gold-printed imitation-leather board add a touch of class to this Frankh/Edition Perlhuhn production.
