Rithmomachia

from FD Games
The game of philosophers is no ordinary game. We have taken the game of medieval times and made it fit for the third millennium. We have found what allowed chess to take its place as the top game and put right its deficiencies with the hindsight of four centuries. If you only play modern games then you don't know what you have been missing.

£25 +p&p
- four board, rules, pieces & e-mail support - pieces require cutting and construction before play but all materials are included.
