This is one of my family's favorite games. It used to be the present I offer most often to my son's and daughter's friends "when they were a bit younger". It is easy to learn and fun to play. To win you need to employ tactic and strategy. It has tactile element when you push you opponent out of the board, that I think adds a dimension to the game that other strategy games do no have. My wife and I are still playing it from time to time and when my son arrives from university he sometimes challenges me for a game. It can be played also in a 3 and 4 players version. But you would need to get extra colored marbles. It plays well also as multiplayer. The game has quite a history and is, apparently, one of the games used to compete in the Mind Olympics.
