Prettiest Board Game of 2008 - Paradice, The Game of Give and Take
Our favorite board game (for the second year running) nurtures the most important thing of all: a prettier spirit. Perhaps the most thought-provoking game in the new millennium, Paradice - The Game of Give and Take is a strategy game like no other, equally esoteric and artful. It's truly a game that you have to play before you understand the beautiful philosophy behind it. If our attempt at explanation still leaves you baffled, we hope your curiosity will lead you to learn more about this piece of playable art.
In a Universe of four forests, each with a Forest Spirit, players compete to become the Giver, who gives trees, and to bring Human Beings eye-to-eye to form the Blue Pyramid -- before the Taker, who takes trees and draws Human Beings apart, stops them, that is. Of course, on any roll of the die the Circumstance Changer can cause the Opportunity for Givers to become Takers, and vice versa. Thus, each player experiences both points of view in a single game. The beautiful challenge is that only the Giver can win the game. Meditate on this powerful goal, you shall.
Paradice comes in two versions: a more adult version made of recycled plastics and the newer, less expensive wood version, better suited for children.
