Barricade Wooden Game
$40.00
A variant of Ludo or Sorry popularized in Germanic countries during the last century, barricade combines the cutthroat nature of Sorry with a linear game board.
The object of the game is to be the first player to land a ball of their color in the white goal. Each Player chooses a set of 5 pegs placing them on the matching starting positions. The white barricades are placed on the red spaces on the board. Each player rolls the die in turn, highest roll plays first. All pegs may move forward, backwards and sideways. However they have to keep the same direction during one move. The pegs must be moved by the exact number thrown. One can pass non-white pegs of the same color or a different color. You may enter as many pegs as you want to the board during the game. All pegs start from the first black dot. If a your peg lands on a space occupied by your opponents peg, your opponents peg returns to its starting position.
Barricades are obstacles that may not be passed. Only when a peg lands on a barricade exactly the player whose peg landed on a barricade may place the barricade anywhere except the first row. Used cleverly, barricades block other player's pegs and protect your own. The game ends when one player land exactly in the white goal.

Mancala - Wooden Game
$37.99
The Mancala family of games is one of the oldest in human entertainment. It is a game that is easy to play, but difficult to master. With respect to all the variations of the game, the rules described correspond to an asymmetric game, played with 4-6 balls.
OBJECT OF MANCALA
Collect more of the balls in your mancala than your opponent. Those are the two bowls located at the end of board on the display above.
BOARD SETUP
Place equal numbers of balls (4 to 6 balls) in each small bowl.
MANCALA RULES
Each player owns the six bowls that face him/her, and the mancala that is to the person's right.
The first player starts by scooping all of the balls out of one of the bowls on his side (those are the only six bowls that he can move). The player drops one stone in each succeeding bowl, counterclockwise, until there are no more balls left in hand from the original bowl.
If the player happens to go by his mancala he drops a stone in, but if the player goes by the opponents mancala no balls are dropped and the player moves on to the next bowl.
If the player drops the last stone in his mancala, he/she wins another turn, and gets to move again.
If the player drops the last stone into an empty bowl on his side of the board, he/she receives that stone plus all of his opponent's balls in the bowl directly across from that bowl. This is called a capture move. Once you make a capture move the current turn is over.
THE WINNER
When one player no longer has Balls in his bowls, the other player places all remaining balls from his bowls into His own Mancala.
The player with the most balls in his Mancala wins.

First, stand the sticks upright holding them all vertically with your hand. Let go gently and allow them to drop where they may. Each player's goal is to pick up as many sticks as he can without making the other sticks move. There were two methods used: one included the black stick in the group and it was worth the most points or players to used the black stick as a "tool" to assist in removing the other sticks.
The first player to go (determined by lottery) picks up one stick at a time until he is failed (one stick moves when he attempts to pick another up). The player sums up his points and the turn goes to the next player and so on until someone reaches 200 points. The winner is the first to total 200 points. You can use your own total if you wish. Some versions used 500.

On each turn a player places a peg of their color onto the board in such a way as to capture one or more of the opponent's pegs, if you can't capture a peg you must skip your turn. Pegs are captured when a peg placed on the board sandwiches one or more of your opponents pegs between two pegs of your own color. Pegs can be captured horizontally, vertically and diagonally.
The game is over when the board is full or neither player can move, the player with the most pegs of their color wins.
The board allows you to play another Game: Solitaire.
At the beginning of the game the peg in the center of the board is removed. Moves are made by jumping a peg over an adjacent peg, removing each peg as you pass over it. The aim of the game is to remove all the pegs until only one peg is left in the center of the board.

Step On Me (Challenging Connect 4) - Wooden Game
$54.00
Content:
° Main board with 16 holes
° Two stands for the game pieces with 12 holes each
° 24 Wooden cylinders (the game pieces), varied in color and size.
Each player starts the game with 4 long wooden cylinders and 8 short cylinders (half the length of the long cylinders)
Objective:
To create a row of four cylinders of the same color, visible on the surface of the board, in either a straight or diagonal line.
Preparations:
l. Remove the two stands from the main board, and reattach them to the sides of the main board horizontally.
2. Remove the cylinders from the main board and divide them between the two players according to color. The cylinders must then be arranged on the two stands. The four long cylinders must be placed in the front row (the closest to the main board) and the short cylinders in the rest of the stand.
3. The two players then sit in front of one another with the board between them. Make sure that each player can only view her/his own cylinders, while not viewing the opponent's cylinders. Also, during the game, the opponents must not view the main board from above (thus revealing the arrangements of the short cylinders on the board).
4. Prior to commencing the game, each player must place on the main board one of the small cylinders, without the opponent knowing where the piece is (each opponent looks away while the player places one small cylinder, so the location of it won't be revealed)
5. The starting player will be chosen by a draw.
Process of the game:
Each player, in her/his turn, must place one cylinder on the main board.
° lf the cylinder is long, it will be visible on the surface of the main board.
° lf the cylinder is short, it will "disappear" inside the main board. Try to remember where the small cylinders are placed as the game progresses.
° When a small cylinder is placed in a hole which already contains another small cylinder, the second cylinder will be visible on the surface of the main board.
° lf a long cylinder is being placed in a hole which already contains a small cylinder, the long cylinder will stick out from the main board. lf this happens, the long cylinder is immediately disqualified and that opponent forfeits the game.
° Please remember that the main board is being "booby-trapped" at the beginning of the game, and the use of long cylinders is thus not safe.
The first player to create a row of four cylinders visible on the surface of the board, in either a straight
or diagonal line, wins the game.
