About the Game

A game for two players by Alain Couchot and Bernard Klein

Winner of the Golden Pawn at the 1997 Boulogne Billancourt Game Design Competition (under the name Tor)

COMPONENTS

An 8 × 8 gameboard of 64 neutral spaces. 4 rings (2 white and 2 black). 64 color discs (16 blue, 16 purple, 16 orange, 16 yellow).

OVERVIEW

Each player has two rings to move on the board. At the beginning, each space of the board is one of the 4 colors (blue, purple, orange, or yellow), and the colors are distributed evenly on the board. As the game progresses, space colors change, and certain spaces become inaccessible.

If you can move neither of your rings at the beginning of your turn, you lose, and your opponent wins.
