From the box: AXA is the Classic Game of Symmetry for all ages. Easy to learn, yet intriguing to play. AXA provides a masterful and aesthetic challenge for all levels of skill. A game for 2 or 4 players, the object of AXA is for one side to first create a symmetrical pattern around the white central axis. Any symmetrical pattern wins and winning possibilities are almost limitless. Vision, cunning and inspiration are essential for winning play and no apparent lead can be taken for granted. User comment: Beautiful black, one-piece, hard plastic board with bright red and white shiny stones as playing pieces.
