Strategy game Sia Sola
General Information
In this version with the small white game pieces, the strategy game is only available at Manufactum: The small balls fit perfectly into the hollows of the board. The challenge to the agility of your thinking muscles remains of course unaffected.
In Action: Gyri of the Brain and Tokens on the Board.
A young German mathematician has created this solitaire game for those who love to ponder. It is as fascinating as it is enchantingly simple. Eventually, it is called Sia Sola. Sia, a little-known goddess in Egyptian mythology, represents reason, understanding and wisdom. So the name indicates the path to success: “reason alone”.
The aim of the game is for the two large tokens to change places on the board. At a second glance, achieving the swap proves more difficult than expected. For one thing, the tokens are allowed to move horizontally and vertically but mustn’t enter the box occupied by the other pawn. For the other thing, the positioning of the small marbles limits possible moves of the meeples, and the marbles’ setup gets repositioned after every move. Accordingly, the situation on the board is constantly changing. A player in hopes of winning has to study the positions of the pawns and marbles plus plan strategically in advance. Finally, the game inventor has seen to it that the game’s opening strategic structure may differ: A set of cards provides 32 starting constellations offering four difficulty levels. You find the optimum moves relating to each constellation on the reverse of the respective card. In this design, this newly released game is only available from us.
Warning:
Not suitable for children under 3 years. Risk of suffocation due to small parts that can be swallowed.
