Ra: Strategy Among Hexagons is a board game released in 1981 for 2 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 13 and up. It was designed by Marco Donadoni.
This is a strategic game over hexagons, with easy rules, but is challenging to play with coordination. Victory will belong to whoever has the capacity to win but also to lose with intelligence. Contents: Playing board in rigid thick cardboard and printed in metallic colours. 18 cylindrical pieces in rigid, coloured plastic. Rule booklet in 4 languages with examples. Not to be confused with Reiner Knizia's Ra (1999).
