Zenteeko

Zenteeko is a sneaky, super simple abstract strategy game for two or more players. The rules are easy – learn to play in under two minutes – but pay attention! The game is played on a 5 x 5 leather-like board and each player has four markers (we give you extra in case you lose one). The object of the game is to get your four markers in one of four simple groupings: a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line, or in a square. Play begins with each player alternately placing a marker on the board. When all four markers are in place, players then take turns sliding their markers in any direction to achieve the objective. No jumping! Things can change quickly; think ahead to your next move because your opponent may just slide into a winning position right under your nose! Games can last from 2 to 20 minutes depending on how crafty each player is. Markers for three players fit into the round zippered pouch attached to the board. This is a reboot of Teeko by John Scarne. The entire board rolls up and snaps shut so you can take Zenteeko fun with you anywhere! —description from the publisher
