	Description Edit \| History

From the Rio Grande website:
IDO is both a work of art and a game. You may want to display it permanently in your living room. Players move colorful blocks on the abstract board trying to get four of their blocks from one side to the other. Players may also move the board to change the board’s geometric pattern and move their pieces closer to their goal. The first player to move of his pieces across the board is the winner!

5th Place 1997 Hippodice Spieleautorenwettbewerb (as Mondrian).
