    Marbles Gift Wrap

     

    Marbles offers gift wrapping on this brainy product for only $1!

    This Mensa Select winner offers plenty of strategy, a touch of harmony and a little eco-friendly goodness to boot. The object of the game is to guide your river stones across a bamboo playing mat in order to create one of four winning formations before your opponent. But the brain-enhancing trick is that you must move your stone as far as you can without stopping it mid-stream, jumping over another stone or moving onto an occupied space. Along the way, you’ll exercise your strategy skills and get your frontal lobe skipping like stones on a still pond. Comes in a polished bamboo tube for easy storage and travel.

    Brain Health Expert Says:

    "You’ll use the frontal areas of your brain, important for decision making and critical thinking, as you think of the correct strategy to win this game. " -Neurologist

    How to Play:

    To set up the game, form an “X” on the mat, with the black and white pieces each forming a line. Each player takes turns gliding one of their stones in a straight line horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. For each move, there must be open spaces to move to and each player must move their piece as far as possible for each move – until the piece comes to the edge of the mat, or until it reaches one of their opponent’s pieces.

    How to Win:

    The game continues until a player moves their stones into one of the winning positions: a straight line made of their stones, each of a player’s stones moved into all four corners, or a square made of a player’s stones anywhere on the mat.

    The Marbles BrainCoach says...

    Daoist principle states that nothing can be predicted, but through the flow of simple steps one can create a path to an end. Keep this game on your patio table and enjoy the outdoors as you play against a worthy adversary. Sit back, relax, and let the principle take effect.
