KALIKO^TM
...created by Titus and Schensted

A work of art each time you play.
5 times on the Games 100 list!
Games magazine's "Golden Oldies" list, 1995

The history: Some 40 years ago, this game was sold under the name, "Psyche-Paths," in die-cut cardboard. Steve Titus, the son of one of the inventors, then engineered a way to make the set screen-printed on clear acrylic (Lucite). In 1983, Kaliko, then produced by the Tituses' company, Future Classics, won a place on Omni magazine's best games list. Since 1986 the game has been licensed to and produced by Kadon. The acrylic version was retired in 2001. The most recent edition, as of November 2003, is printed on beautiful hand-finished blond wood and laser-cut.

The game: The 85 hexagons represent all possible patterns of 3 paths with 3 colors. Match them by color to form long paths and score points. This great game leaves all participants feeling good, win or lose. A more detailed write-up appears in the review by Steffan O'Sullivan. Intricate puzzles of color symmetry or the longest single loop are included. A tailored felt bag holds the tiles during the game, and little bamboo hiding screens shield each player's tiles. For 1 to 4 players, ages 8 to adult. $135

Pocket Loops - 12 acrylic 2-color tiles with matching paths

POCKET LOOPS (a limited edition)

We've made a limited number of these little 12-tile sets from the left-overs of the previous version of Kaliko, in clear acrylic. Only while they last. Each set has just two colors, and each set is a different mix, no two alike. They make nice shapes where at least one color can form one complete path. A really tough challenge! These sets come from showroom samples or demonstration models, with small imperfections that won't interfere with their play. In drawstring pouch to take along in purse or pocket, entertainment at home or on the go. For 1 or 2 players, ages 8 to adult.

$9 (Shipping discount) Pocket Loops 3--sample tile

Also while they last, POCKET LOOPS 3, with 16 all-different three-color tiles that form many designs and can make a hard 4x4 rhombus with any color as a closed loop.

$12 (Shipping discount)

DEZIGN-8^TM

This concept was created 40 years ago by an architect, Bill Briggs. We've expanded the original tile patterns from four to the full eight. Every combination of 1, 2, 3 and 4 paths exiting from a square, with enough multiples in a strategic mix, allows the creation of the most intricate designs. All you have to do is match the paths. A strange fact — no matter how you connect the paths, the number of separate groups will always equal the number of closed loops formed. Latest discovery: up to 19 are possible! The laser-cut, hand-inlaid acrylic tiles are framed so the 14" set can be displayed on its easel as an ever-changing work of art. We offer it in four color combinations, in felt slipcase. Rules for several games are included. For 1 to 4 players, ages 10 to adult. $155

DIAMOND RAINBOW^TM
...created by Anneke Treep

This one stands out in any crowd. The concept: 24 diamond-shaped tiles (sample shown at right) and 6 triangular tiles carry the 6 dominant rainbow colors in every combination. Join them so colors meet only their own shades or their neighbors in the spectrum. Wonderful patterns emerge as you rearrange the tiles. Solve symmetrical shapes outside the 8½" tray, as well. Hand-constructed acrylic. For 1 or 2 players, ages 8 to adult. $55

Guest appearance!
PUZZABILITIES^TM
...created by Diego Uribe, made by Y&B Associates

Create optical illusions and impossible objects with the 256 triangular tiles. Their 45 different edge patterns mark the girders and beams of figures drawn in isometric perspective, allowing you to form the effect of an impossible three-dimensional shape. Several sample figures kick off your creativity. These are reminiscent of the work of M. C. Escher and tremendous fun. Nicely made 2" die-cut, glossy cardboard tiles require a one-time disassembly. For 1 to 8 players, ages 10 to adult.

RHOM-ANTICS^TM

RHOM-ANTICS^TM ...conceived by Ward Hollins

A dazzling decagon floats like a globe in its 23" frame, made of 90 tiles: 45 wide and 45 slender diamonds (72 degrees and 36 degrees). Rhom-Antics sample tiles Each diamond is divided through the middle into four triangles, so each side of the diamond can have its own color (see sample tiles at right). These compartments are filled with all the combinations of 3 colors. Edgematch the tiles to create symmetries and ribbons of color with frosted mirror accents that give the design a metallic gleam. Once you overcome an initial sense of overwhelmedness, playing with this set can be a transcendental experience. Every completed pattern is a new plateau. Custom orders are invited from our extensive palette of available colors. White or black tray looks best. Easel and matching lid are provided. $495 (+$15 oversize shipping surcharge)
