PARDON? STONES

Awarded the GAMES magazine "GAMES 100" Award for 1994 & 1995 for its quality, staying power and fun. Played by either two or 2 teams of two players. The strategy is extremely simple to grasp, even for small children, and the outcome is unpredictable to the last move. Pardon? is known as the straight ahead Backgammon. The challenge is to move all your gemstone game pieces to the opposite side of the Cherry wood board according to the throw of two wood dice, while attacking and avoiding attack by your opponent. Players have to keep two pieces on a square otherwise they can be captured by the opponent and returned to the start, however unlike Backgammon, players miss a turn if they throw doubles with the dice and cannot place more than two pieces on a square. Pieces can be moved sideways, but each square moved is counted, so beware. This game requires strategy and the player who sends their opponent back to the start the most is more than likely to win. Also available with gold and silver plated aircraft playing pieces and wooden dice.
