#76/#75: Quandary

The only tie in The One Hundred is between two classic games: Hare & Tortoise and Quandary. Quandary hasn't been in print as long - but it's been released in 4 different editions:

• the original Flinke Plinke
• the luxurious American release of Quandary, with thick domino-like tiles
• the stripped down elegance of Thor, with it's long black box and extra cards
• the primal simplicity of Loco, making this great game affordable to the masses

Whichever edition you use, it's a game of bluff & chicken - there's no theme, just the pleasure of working the system (and your opponents) to maximize your score.

Mark Edwards: "I love the feel of the tiles almost as much as I love the simple yet engrossing game. What an elegant design."
