Addictive strategy game

I have played this game for the first time, as I have done in a kindergarten placement. You play so much with young children and most often it involves games like snails race or the like. Such games are still known from his own childhood. But at some point I saw two little girls play this game and thought to myself "Diamonds are a girl's best friend". I thought at first that it was not to be a game, but simply a few different colored stones that should be sorted by color. When I was but prompted by another intern, to play with her this game ,. I allowed myself a it and was fascinated !! It's incredible how much tactics, strategy and math behind this game. I had the first rounds do not really understand how you can win in this game, and stamped it off as luck when someone won. Gradually is a principle but clear and you can see a real system. It develops its previously random moves to a strategy to the enemy to steal as many stones without even losing a lot.
It really makes a lot of fun and is certainly one of the best games for children in terms of logic, fine motor skills and numeracy (counting).

One star deduction for fun, because it is quite annoying in the beginning to take the pieces individually. You have to practice a bit to rapidly carry the stones with one hand over the troughs and play properly.

In the life of this game is probably unbeatable. If stones are lost, you can also take any other small object and the game board is robust.

Highly Recommended !! And also for adults a fun challenge in terms of tactics.
