The object of Saikoro, a rather unique abstract strategy dice game, is to block or strand your opponent so that they cannot make a legal move. First, a player places the lid over the dice tray that consists of 64 individual target squares and shakes the box to randomly arrange the 62 six-sided dice. Players then take turns making moves by selecting a target square and plotting a path along the matrix and replacing the die located there with their token. Legal moves are made by moving to a target square that contains a die showing a number equal to the number of steps it takes to reach it and also lies within 6 steps of your opponent's token. When a player is either blocked or stranded so that they cannot make any further moves, the game is over with the other player being victor. The game board matrix has over 1,750,000,000 zillion zillion possibilities making for a different game board layout every time you play!

Contents of Saikoro:

  • 62 Dice
  • Origami Game Board

One of the best games I have played in awhile. The game is simple enough you can teach it in under 2 minutes, yet challenging enough that you can play it over and over. Try and trap your opponent by limiting their movement and pulling them in a direction they don't want to go, but be careful! I have lost a few games because I thought I had my opponent trapped, but missed one move and trapped myself. Saikoro is great 2-player game and is radically different from other games you have played recently.

Saikoro is an amazing 2-player strategy game that we here at Uncle's imported from England. The board is broken-up in to an 8-pocket by 8-pocket grid. 62 of these pockets have a die in them and the remaining 2 squares have solid cubes. Play starts with putting the lid over the game and shaking it to randomize the board. From there, players take turns moving. The rules are very simple.

1. Players must move their piece to a square occupied by a die. Upon landing, the die is removed.
2. To stop on a square, the player must move through the exact number of squares (including the stopping point) as the number on the die
indicates.
3. Players are not allowed to cross over empty squares, their opponent's square, to cross their own path, or to move diagonally.
4. Players must end their move no more than 6 squares from their opponent (diagonal distances not allowed).
5. The first player who can not find a legal move loses.

The rules are simple enough, but play is very dynamic. Saikoro has the feel of a wrestling match. Bound together by the six-square-distance rule, players end up circling each other. Since the dice are removed off the board as play proceeds, each move made drastically limits the options remaining. The strategy of the game is in trapping your opponent, but one missed move may seal your playing piece in your own trap. The game is fast and brilliant. No two games are the same.
