With Lances, Probes, Shields and Commanders, you try to maneuver and capture your opponents playing pieces in this Chess like game of "Ploy". Since pieces only move along paths in line with the indicators radiating from their centers, the strategy lies in in knowing when to rotate a piece to change direction. Bookshelf / bookcase game. Typical playing time about 30 minutes. Avalon Hill never released this in their name, according to the info I have seen, but sold off the stock acquired from 3M. If you have a copy with the Avalon Hill name on the box or inside pieces, you can contact me to make a correction at .

Game components include : plastic Gameboard w/ 2 joiner strips, 48 Playing pieces in holding tray w/ box & instructions.

Basically a two player game but four player partnership is possible. Ages 10 & up. 3M / Avalon Hill.

Additional info: Playing pieces = 15 ea. coral & green (made up of 1 Commander, 6 Lances, 5 Probes & 3 Shields each) and 9 ea. blue & yellow (made up of 1 Commander, 2 Lances, 3 Probes & 3 Shields each).
