Another game from the successful Alan Moon / Aaron Weissblum partnership, although this one at first glance was deceptive. It looks like a wooden dexterity game like the Zoch games , but that isn't the case and we were all surprised at the amount of thought neede for each move. We played an unofficial variant because I managed to build the log pile with seven pieces on each level instead of six - Maths clearly isn't my strong point. However, I don't believe it affected play too much, especially as I managed to steal another win, and I wouldn't like the others to claim it was an invalid victory. The scores were extremely close and it went down to the very last move of the game to determine the winner. Good stuff and I'm keen to try some of the other (official) variants included in the rules.
