Solomon's Stones

Solomon's Stones is a head to head strategy game that is so simple even young children can learn to play. Nonetheless, the number of permutations allows for quite complex strategies, so it is just as much fun for the serious game player. Designed as a coffee table show piece, with the stones being natural hematite gemstones, and with instructions printed onto a glossy A5 card. The object of the game is to force your opponent to take the last of 28 stones. Players take turns to remove stones from any (but only one) of the rows or columns - all of which cross over each other, until there is only one stone left.
