Attempt to control territory by placing playing pieces. Gain points by capturing opponents pieces or by blocking opponents influence. Beware the landscape shifts over time! Game is played on an enlarged checker style board (10x10) with high quality wood tiles and pieces. Game times vary from 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes depending upon the level of play chosen. The time is determined by how much thinking is going into each of the moves. It can be light and quick, or deep and thoughtful (and frustrating).
