Solid Wood Pin Point Game

Description
PinPoint is in some ways the archetypal British game. PinPoint is an abstract game. It is played on a ten by ten grid which is represented by a hundred holes in a plastic base. Into these recesses are played pieces that resemble large pill capsules, being half black and half coloured. These are known as pins. Unlike most games, you are not a 'colour' from the start of the game. Each turn, both players take one piece of each of the four colours. By playing these into the grid, either singly or in combination with others already in place, you aim to score points each turn. After twelve turns each, the highest cumulative score is the winner. This is a game with depth to spare, although not like Chess in which you try set attacks or defensive ploys, it is more a reactive system every game immediately unfolds in a different way and it is up to you to use the developing patterns to advantage. PinPoint is superbly produced, featuring injection moulded plastic pins in four attractive colours, in a striking box, and the whole impact is impressive.
