Capture three islands in a row, by controlling three points in a row on each. A strategic, move-and-place game with shifting strategies, that increases in complexity.

A new move gives depth and fluidity to this game of few rules, on a board of extraordinary symmetry.

3 Stones™ takes just a minute to learn but offers a lifetime of pleasure. Place 3 stones of your color in a row, across, up-and-down, or diagonally, while preventing your opponent from doing so. Just two things to remember... you have to play in the same row or column as the last play, and, you must play whatever you draw, even if it's your opponent's color! The clear stones count for both players. Try to score as many points as you can. Keep score right on the board.

3 Stones is part of Enginuity's Signature Collection of solid wood and glass board games that look good enough to keep on display. The collection also includes Doubles Wild and Soli2.

Doubles Wild is a game of luck and strategy where the object is to make as many 3-in-a-rows as possible in any direction.

Your roll determines where your marker may go. If you don't like your first roll, try again, rolling the blue dice, the red dice, or both. If you roll a double on red or blue, that's WILD, and you may place your marble anywhere in the row or column. If you land on your opponent's marble, you battle for control of the pocket. Play offense to make your own 3-in-a-rows, defense to block your opponent.

Soli2™ is a new twist on and old classic - it's Solitaire for Two. As in Peg Solitaire, you jump a marble over another, removing the marble that was jumped over. In Soli2, what you want to jump over and remove is your opponent's marble. However, if there is no opponent's marble available, you must jump over - and remove - one of your own. Last player standing wins.

You can also play Solitaire, using this new 49-hole design, with either the traditional or the new Soli2 rules.

Soli2 is part of Enginuity's Signature Collection of solid wood and glass board games that look good enough to keep on display. The collection also includes 3 Stones and Doubles Wild. Includes solid wood gameboard, 50 marbles, pouch and instructions. 1-2 players, ages 8-adult.

"Dancer" pieces including the "Spy" move like chess rooks, but capture is by surrounding a piece.

Ahoy! There is a persistent legend that on this three major voyages, Captain Cook used this game nightly to relax with his fellow shipmates... naturalist Sir Joseph Banks and botanist Daniel Solander. Cook spent so much time playing the game, it came to be known as The Captain's Mistress Game.

The object of the game is simple, yet the strategies are endless. Players try to line up four of their hardwood "rounds" in a row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. the cabinet is beautifully made, with brass fittings, burlwood inlay on top, mitered joints and a lustrous, stained finish. At game's end, pull the bottom retaining "gangplank" and the hardwood "rounds" drop back into the cabinet.

Both visual and planning skills are put into play as irregular-shaped pieces are dropped into a slot. They may land upside, downside, or on their side. If a player's piece catches on another one and sticks out above the board's edge, that player loses the game. 2 players ages 6 and older
