Board games usually fall into one of two categories - they either look superb but have the playability of a damp squib or look pretty dreary but are actually great fun. Thankfully, Cirondo happens to to tick the box in both categories in that it is a sleek looking game which will look at home in any designer pad and has the playability of all the modern greats, from Monopoly to Totopoly.\\n\\nCirondo is a fun, absorbing and challenging game of attack, defence and sacrifice which unlocks a world of strategic choices with endless playing variations that will keep you entertained for hours. It combines the strategic nature of Chess with the simplicity of draughts/checkers.\\n \\nTwo or four player battles for galactic domination are resolved on a unique round board, with quality metal pieces advancing or defending in arcs and circular movements adding a new dimension to traditional board gameplay. The object of the Game is to conquer the galaxy by eliminating your opponent from the board. This can be achieved by a vast array of strategies using your Moons, Planets and Solar Systems (known as Stellars) to skilfully attack opponents. \\n \\nEach player starts with an equal number of moons and planets (16 of each for a 2 player game and 8 of each for a 4 player game). Planets can move in arcs around the board, use this to your advantage to attack and outsmart your opponent whilst remembering to protect your Moons. When your Moons reach the inner orbit they are exchanged for the most powerful stellar - a Solar System. This is the most destructive stellar as it can move in any direction on the board to eliminate your opponent(s)! When a player lands his stellar on an opponents stellar the opponents stellar is is eliminated and removed from the board.\\n \\nThe ultimate winner is the player who eliminates all of their opponents stellar, or in the rare event of a tie has the most powerful stellar remaining on the board. \\n \\nCirondo is a strategic board game suitable for all the family and is sure to provide hours of entertainment. \\n \\nContents: \\n\\n 16 x Moons and planets (per Player in a 2 player game) or 8 x Moons and Planets (per player in a 4 player game). \\n4 x Solar Systems (per player in both a 2 and 4 player game). \\n1 x Board. \\n1 x Rules.\\n\\nSuitable for 2-4 Players.
