fun family game, quick to play
My family enjoyes this game very much. It's not a fancy gane with lots of hard to understand and remember rules, but is rather a straight forward and easy game to play that requires some strategic thinking. I'm the least strategic thinking person I know, yet I won the first time we played. Fun for the entire family.Ringgz

Smart game!
Played for the first time last night. Was really fun! Wanted to play more but it was bed time for the other two. I should probably play more before giving a review, but it seems to me it has a lot of different possibilities for strategy. I found the game to be very stimulating and mentally tickling.

The Rules:
you place rings on the board and you can put multiple rings on each square because the game's rings are different sizes and can go inside each other. You can only put your color ring next to a square that already has a colored ring on it of your color. The game starts with a piece being placed on the board in any of the center squares. This piece has all the colors of all the rings from which the first moves of the game are made from. The game ends when there are no more valid places to put rings. The person with the most squares which have a majority of rings of their color (each team has a color of rings they are trying to monopolize on the board) wins the game. So the point is to block others from getting squares with a majority of rings of their color while assuring that you yourself secure squares with rings that have a majority of rings of your color. Some pieces that are not rings are called bases. They are solid pieces which add another element of fun to the game as they are only used as a way to block others from spreading to other parts of the board or to lock in an area of the board to yourself to monopolize your rings since rings can only be placed on squares that are adjacent to ones that have rings of your color--and also--bases of your color (only one base can be placed on a square and two bases of the *same* color cannot be placed next to each other to make it more challenging and fair in one's effort to monopolize a corner of the board [which I guess Bill Gates wouldn't like])

This game gives me an idea... to make a strategy version of Monopoly. (As in the formerly Parker Brother's Monopoly Board game)instead of one which moves are made in a linear fashion around a board by rolling dice. So instead of a linearly moving monopoly game that is based on luck, a non-linearly moving monopoly game based purely on strategy! *me rubs hands together maniacally with a gleam in the eye*

Wowza!
We love love love this game. It's been the perfect thing for us (the parents) as well as for all of our kids, even the five-year-old. It's addictive and quick, and it requires strategy to win. It's fun to see how our kids' minds all work differently! Great product.
