Mana

A virtuous strategy game with refined materials. In an abstract and poetic theme where being captured can sometimes turn out to be the best plan of attack.

Each turn, the Mana-Bird prevents you from playing certain pieces. It's up to you to choose the route of your Rônins to defeat the opposing Daïmio and win the game.

- Fineness of the pieces
- Develops the spirit of anticipation
- Varied combinations
- Very great depth of play
- Variant for advanced players

Contents: 1 magnet box, 1 board of 36 squares, 11 wooden pieces (white), 11 wooden pieces (black), 1 rulebook

To win the game, you will need to capture the opposing Daïmio. The moves are made by 1,2 or 3 squares depending on the value of the starting square. It is the Mana-bird that indicates the starting squares. You can move only the Daïmio and the Rônins you control (those of your color).

A captured Rônin is excluded from the board but he can return if the Mana-bird imposes a move on you that you cannot play. Losing a piece can paradoxically turn into an advantage, before capturing one, ask yourself if it is not a poisoned gift.

In this original game, you play both against and with your opponent to achieve your strategy.
