Handily sized and light in weight, yet just as carefully crafted and playfully sophisticated as its big brother: this version of the strategy game TAC provides extremely entertaining brainteasers even in smaller game and fun corners and can be stowed away again to save space.

At its premiere in 2004, it was announced full-bodied (but with some justification) as a "new classic": The goal of the simple rules following, yet strategically challenging TAC is to bring four game pieces represented by glass marbles into their own "little house" (so far, so familiar). The path to the goal, however, has special pitfalls that soon become painfully obvious to the novices: Instead of a dice, playing cards determine the running speed, some of which authorize perfidious acts of sabotage, such as swapping two marbles or undoing the opponent's last move. Complicating matters further, two players*in each form a team that can only win collectively, which requires and encourages a certain degree of unselfishness, cooperation and foresight.

Not suitable for children under 3 years. Risk of suffocation due to small parts that can be swallowed.
