Perigon is the revolutionary new two-player strategy game. Fast-moving & intellectually demanding, the game's need for skill, foresight & ruthless logic is perfect for both experienced & new strategy fans who love a challenge. The word " Perigon" means a 360 degree angle. Set up Perigon's unique board & you'll see why it was chosen, as you quickly get drawn into an enthralling world of angles & edges requiring all-round foresight & tactical imagination. Players use their pieces to wheel around & shunt past those of their opponent, gradually manoeuvring the Flag towards their opponent's goal line. It sounds deceptively simple, but the richness of the game play means every battle will be different. Luck plays no part
- only the cunning & clever will plant the Flag on the far goal line & win. Perigon fully incorporates all of the classic elements of strategy, concentration, decision-making, reinforcement & pattern recognition, while completely revolutionising them at the same time. The mechanics of Perigon are unique, so players are forced into an exciting reimagination of their approach to playing. The unique design of our solid wooden Perigon sets is a striking combination of the classic & the contemporary. Carved from the finest Albizia Saman (a weighty, deep brown wood) & h&-finished with a premium varnish, these beautiful sets would serve as elegant additions to any interior. The set is large with the board measuring 33cm x 27cm x 2cm & the nine cylindrical pieces 3.3cm x 1.1cm. In spite of the depth of the game play Perigon is very easy to learn. What's more, as it only has nine pieces, you can quickly set up the board & start playing almost immediately. Suitable for ages 11 Years+
