{"product_id":"quinamid","title":"Quinamid","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn abstract 2-player game in which the objective is to create a line of 5 counters . The twist here is that the counters are placed in a series of 5 boards of differing size that are formed to make a pyramid, hence the name ‘\u003cstrong\u003eQuinamid\u003c\/strong\u003e’.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe rules are simple, with any one of 3 options available to the player : \u003cbr\u003ea) Place a counter in a vacant space\u003cbr\u003eb) Rotate a board (including those boards ‘above’ it) through 90 degrees\u003cbr\u003ec) Move a board (including those boards ‘above’ it) one ‘position’ in any orthogonal direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAn important rule is that the subsequent player is NOT allowed to reverse the move of the preceding player.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers take it in turns to make their move until one of them reveals a line of 5 counters, this being in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAs players use option c) above they will ‘cover’ boards below, thereby hiding the contents. It follows therefore that there is a bit of memory required to recall what was under the various boards if you are to use it to your advantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA game is often completed in 2 or 3 minutes so replay value is high. It is often better to play a ‘best of 5’ series to employ different strategies, so that would take around 15 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe game should appeal to players aged 8-80. It could be played whilst waiting for a meal to be prepared or as a post-prandial diversion with other players spectating and giving out ‘advice’ ! Easy until they themselves have a go !!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eComponents are sturdy, with the counters and boards being made of good quality wood, and the package comes in a nice wooden presentation box of dimensions 7” x 7”, making it portable and suitable to be played on the train, the beach or at picnics.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHome Page:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.quinamid.com\/\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, '_blank'); return false;\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.quinamid.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Third Dynasty Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1098066529,"sku":"1098066529","price":19.04,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic267654_lg.jpg?v=1578608997","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/quinamid","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
