Board game from Shem Phillips, Nea Zealand

From the starting tile, players expand the forest area, known as Linwood, in search of the four element stones. Each stone has a unique ability which players can use within Linwood. The aim of the game is to be the first player to collect all four element stones and return them to the starting tile.

Linwood is recommended for ages 8 and above. Each game takes approximately 30 minutes, and can be played by 2-6 players. Linwood allows for a good balance of skill and luck. While there is room for strategy and advanced thinking, the game play is still simple enough for a child to pick up in a matter of minutes.

This game was created by the Archmage Pedramor the Wise, trying to find a peaceful way to resolve magical duels.

Oktagrid is played on a octagonal chessboard. Every player controls a Wizard: moving it on outer part of the board, the miniature activates the magical Runes, which can create and move the Oktawoods, the enchanted pieces of this ancient game. The player that scores the higher number of Oktawoods, moving them to the center of the board, is the winner.

It's avaiable the first expansion (Oktagrid: Expansion I) which allows the four mages to score twice with a single Oktawood and to create magic barriers to stop opponent's Oktawoods.

Price: Oktagrid: 20 Euros Oktagrid Expansion I: 5 euros
