One of my favorite abstract games to play is Mancala. It’s not because it’s particularly exciting, but rather, the beauty and elegance of a well made set always elevates the game and invites me to open it, hold the pieces, and enjoy a game. A good old fashioned challenge between two players.
I felt a similar feeling upon seeing Shōbu for the first time.
At first glance Shobu is a game that just invites you to pick it up. It’s has a beautiful, organic design. And much like the box promises, it is beautifully challenging too!
