Apart from the fun of building the game board, due to the small pieces, this is a brilliant game.
You need to be looking ahead about two moves everytime and anticipating what the opponants will do and reacting to what they actually do.
It's not exactly chess but it requires a bit of thought to move around the board in the way you require to pick up the treasure. Not one for younger children (or the easily annoyed) but definately worth the money.
Don't play it on the carpet or the board will come apart but a good game for anyone old enough to get into it.
