Now you got a little peek into my world... let me introduce you to the product that caused this stampede of children - it's call Tri-Cross by Games for Competitors, a Father-Son duo from Atlanta (by the way, that is my oldest child's dream job!)
This game is a "cross" between - chess, checkers and Stratego, according to my sons who have not stopped playing it since it arrived.
For a quick "how to play" - watch this video -
One reason that it has been such a hit here, it's easy to learn, but challenging enough to keep teenage boys entertained. It's also a quick game to play (unlike some other strategy games that can take all day...).
You can purchase this game in 3 different formats (we were sent the Standard and Eco-editions!) Look for it online or at your favorite retail location.
Standard Edition - $24.95
Eco-Edition - $19.95
Wood Edition - $35.95
Games for Competitors is giving away 10 of their Travel/Eco-Games. You can register to win your own copy - find out the details about it here. (The Eco Edition is packaged in a handy, cotton travel bag and printed on a cotton board.)

Sounds like your sons described it exactly like mine did.
ReplyDeleteAnd I *adored* that it could be played fairly quickly. Even as they got better and the games lasted longer, they still were far shorter than, well, some other strategy games...
