Description
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words:
- A wooden board affixed to a rounded base
- 14 white marbles and 14 black marbles
- A specially numbered die
- The length of the board – 15 cm
- Plastic figures
The length of the board is engraved with a grid of spaces in which to fit the marbles, 16 rows of 3 spaces each. The goal of the game is for the winning player to move at least 4 of his marbles to one end of the board without either end of the board touching the table at any time. The game begins with no marbles on the board.
