5Great interaction game for two
By Linda Oskam
Babel is a game for two players that takes 30-45 minutes to play once you know the rules. Each player tries to build temples: the higher the temple, the higher its value. To build the temples you need workers and they come from all over the Eufrate and Tigris area: there are cards with five different tribes and once you have three cards of a certain tribe in a row you can either build your temples faster or you can wreck havoc among the temples/tribes of your opponent (or both). You need a good combination of luck (which tribes do you get) and strategy, but thinking further then 2 steps ahead does not make a lot of sense as you never know what your opponent is gonna do.And that is exactly what makes this game so attractive: there is an enormous amount of interaction. Yes, you can build your temples and have a nice strategy, but before you know it your temples are in ruins, your tribes have joined your opponent and you can start all over again.A thoroughly enjoying game.

Product Description

This combination Chess and Checker set is a classic and one of our most popular! The quality craftsmanship that has gone into the making of this board and its pieces is what sets it apart and above the rest. The grand walnut board has two felt-lined drawers for storing the chess and checker pieces, and it boasts some lovely decorative inlay on the face of the board along the borders. The heavy chess pieces in the classic French Staunton design are hand carved from Sheesham and Kari woods, and their polished luster will only improve with use. As an added bonus, wooden checker pieces are included. The smart design ensures that you can store everything within the confines of the board's body neatly and securely, but this Chess and Checker set is so beautiful it is more likely that you will display it in your home, ever ready for a great game!

5High Quality, with Everything Included, and Priced Right
By John D. Hillmer
I bought the Wood Expressions Camphor Chess/Checkers Set for my son as a college graduation gift. He (and I) enjoy the game, and we both like playing on a good quality wood set. I have one that I got as a kid from my dad, and I wanted to do the same for him.This one is well made, is all wood, inlaid (not painted squares), has drawers on each side, with felt covered compartments for each piece. It comes with all the chess pieces (wood), and also with checkers pieces (also wood). The chess pieces are slightly weighted, and have a good weight and feel to them, and the pieces are easy to recognize (some sets are carved too fancy, it's hard to tell what certain pieces are).

5great product
By K. Andrews
This was a Christmas present for my grandkids. There was a gap between purchase price and the time the kids acutally opened it up and played with it. It was missing the chess pieces. I contacted the company asking if they could send just the pieces instead of shipping the whole thing back and getting a new set. I was extremely pleased to see them do just that. They choose the most effiecient way to solve the problem. This company more than lived up to my expectations. The chess/checkers set is a beautiful and sturdy set. My grandkids will play with it for many years to come.

  • 3 to 5 player game
  • 60 minuts to play
  • Pre-historic tribal hunters
  • Strategy game
  • Economic challenge

Product Description

It is 1821, and for 250 years the Philippine Islands have been under the thumb of the Spanish crown. But, in the end, the Spaniards do not really control everything. In the shadow of the colonial power, self-willed natives have established secret maritime trade with neighboring islands and the Asiatic mainland. Using odd-looking punts and fragile bamboo barks, these black market traders cram their boats with nutmeg, silk, jade, and ginseng, and set sail to smuggle them into MANILA. Succes in each venture is uncertain, as the seaworthiness of both boats and captains is poor. To add to their woes, pirates lie in wait to plunder boats that cannot escape them. Given all this, it is not surprising that wares that reach the black markets in MANILA command high prices, making the venture worth the risk for those who succeed. The black market dealers use accomplices to ensure they get the wares, bribe pilots to aid their cargoes and hinder others, and insure their cargoes against failure. And a few wealthy merchants hire pirates to attack the black market boats and secretly pocket the profits from these raids. Players: 3-5 Ages: 10 and up Playing Time: 60 minutes

5Manilla
By toolin4fun
Great product. One of my family's favorite. It combines some strategy and skill with a good deal of luck which makes it fun and gives everyone a shot at winning. Great for a variety of ages to play together. (My kids are 14-21 but I have played it with kids as young as 8.) This is the THIRD one I've bought! I keep giving them away because my friends love it too!

I had the joy of owning this wonderful game, and just like the reviewer above... I gave mine away.So many people love this game, I'm suprised there are not more reviews.Very easy to learn and hard to put down.The game play requires a fair amount of strategy but is also okay for younger age group such as 12 upwards to get involved.2 thumbs up!!!!

51856 - Your 18xx collection is incomplete without a copy.
By Robert
This is a deep game that will challenge you and probably take a number of session to play well. It can be a rewarding experience, but copies are getting scarce, so I encourage you to find one if your at all interested in the 18xx genre.

Mayfair Games 1870 Product Description:



  • Train theme
  • New custom rules
  • Part of the 18xx series of train games
  • Abuse corporate power like a robber baron
  • For 3 to 7 players

Product Description

This 18xx game takes the basic mechanics from Tresham's 1829, and adds several new elements. Players seek to make the most money by buying and selling stock in various rail companies located on a map of central United States. The board itself is actually a fairly abstract hexagonal system, with track tiles placed on top of the hexes. Players buy and sell stock in various share companies, whose actions are controlled by the majority stockholder. The stock manipulation aspect of the game is widely-regarded as one of the best. Plus each 18xx title adds new and different elements to the game. This game features private companies with special money-making capabilities and sizeable map which encourages most (if not all) share companies to become profitable. A game is finished when the bank runs out of money, and the player with the greatest personal holdings wins.

This title is one of the longer commercially available 18xx games, but can still be rewarding. They are getting scarce, so find a copy while your able, or risk paying a premium.
