This beautifully presented game is a sort of Zen version of Connect Four meets Noughts & Crosses with a bit of Othello thrown in. Within your very 'Om' bamboo case you'll find a canvas playing mat and a handful of different coloured stones, one colour for each of the two players. Firstly you lay the stones out on the mat, you then have to take it turns manoeuvring them, within the strict guidelines of the game, to try and make a line of four of your stones, whilst at the same time trying to block your opponent from doing likewise. The game is won when you have completed 'The Path of Knowledge', oh wise one. Seems easy huh, try getting a snake to ride a bicycle. It's fun, tactical, very transportable and looks delightfully earthy and Zen-like.
