About the Game

This game dates back to the Persians, who played a crude version in which the board was thirteen feet across. The counter was made of stone and took forty slaves to lift; as a result, play was slow. Modern gamers have speeded play, but have not modified the basic futility of the system.

First published in The Space Gamer (Issue 62 - Apr 1983), under Famous Game Designers' School.
