This one seems indeed the most interesting from the Pair-of-Dice Games sortiment.

The version I have has a fantastic leather roll-up board.

The soft board has the cool kangaroos. I wish I had that version, but I'm fine with my Amigo copy.

This one is a real beauty.
I always have to play around with it when I see it in my local store.

Also available in cardboard board form, in the later editions.

Very interesting, I think I'll have a closer look at "Viking Fury" from Ragnar Brothers, I very much like the theme and it fits the simplistic design. Nice one.

I was about to add this one - even went to check it's number. Then, luckily, I dsaw that it was already added.

It's a nice game. Unequal sides with some good strategy. Quite a heavyish brain-burner.

Just to warn you, there is a version of this with a cardboard board in a smallbox which is actually half the size of the real game, but sold as if identical. 6-by-6 board instead of 10-by-10 and half the number of pieces (except the king).

This has also been remade with an Australian Bushranger theme - Ned Kelly, the game. We also sell a stunning pewter edition of this game in my store. 185$AUD is kind of dear though...

It'd better be really stunning. I mean 185 of whatever kind of $ ...

And checkers -- I've seen "boards" made of rugs and pillows, as well as just a cloth to roll up.

I believe backgammon also has been produced with a cloth playing area.

IMHO, the original soft board and tinkertoy(R)-style pieces were much more appealing than the later, hard board and "futuristic" EXTREME-edition pieces.

Not that I know any of the versions, I also like the earlier edition more from the look of it. Although I suspect tinkering around with the tiny sticks became easier with the upright plastic pieces.

Playing Go on the beach is like... discussing philosophy at a discotheque... or something. How could you play on that thing? But a more sedate vinyl rollup board is available:

As mentioned above (#11), this one will probably enter my whishlist, ... well now, it is.

These are generally referred to as the "Tea Towel" games.

Ahh, finaly a beautiful minded game.

That board doesn't look very well-behaved. That's what happens when you roll them up back side out. The ends want to fly up. Also this is a paper board. Cloth-backed vinyl is much nicer, especially if you keep it stored rolled board side out:



Just roll it the other way for a couple minutes before you play, and it flattens out well. Always store vinyl rolled up board side out- I have heard that this helps preserve the board.

This one is a bed spread:

Couldn't they have aimed the camera at a nicer looking rear?

"My eyes! The goggles ... THEY DO NOTHING!"

Game night at Abu Ghraib?
