MM Game Pieces: Chinese chequers
I used to play this game with my Granny many years ago. I found an identical version in a charity shop... same box depicting Chinese lanterns etc and the brightly coloured plastic pieces in side. Starting from triangle bases, arranged around a star, each player has to get their 10 pieces to the opposite side. In straight lines you can hop over the opponents pieces... get it well timed and it can look impressive. I would like a heavy wooden version of this game, but, like the one my granny had, this is cardboard.
Lit from beneath by placing the board minus its surround, on a clear acrylic box and directing flash underneath it. There is about two inches of the board here. HMM
