    QUINTILLIONS®

    Eight times on the Games 100 list.
    Games magazine's "Golden Oldies" list, 1995.
    (Read the reviews.)

    This is our No. 1 game, and the one that launched the company in 1979. The 12 lasercut, hand-polished maple blocks, 13/16" unit cube size, are all the different shapes 5 cubes can make when joined in a flat plane ("solid pentominoes"). Illustrated booklet of 80 pages has the most comprehensive collection of activities for the set, and much original material, including 2-D and 3-D puzzles and 5 competitive games. The pieces feel very good to the touch. They could become a lifetime avocation. For 1 to 4 players, ages 6 to adult. $85

    QUANTUMTM   created by Peter Aleff

    With a fascinating historical overview of games.
    A Games 100 selection, 1985 (review).

    First published in 1984, Quantum has been a Kadon exclusive since 1987. In Quantum, Peter introduced a unique random-start idea: shake the contoured board to scatter the weighted counters to land where they may. Play two different games: connect opposite sides of the board with your 10 pieces, or capture the 4 central cups. The pieces first fall blank side up. Reverse them as you play to reveal their true character and strengths: circles move one step at a time; stars stride along like chess queens. Genuine mahogany frame holds the 10.5" molded playing tray. For 2 to 4 players, ages 10 to adult. $39

    DORISTM ...invented by Zdravko Zivkovic,
    developed with Toby Gottfried and Kate Jones

    On Games 100 list for 2009, first place in
    Puzzles category (review).

    This totally amazing set of 24 octagonal tiles with all combinations of 3 colors on their edges has millions of solutions! Or only 2, or 8, depending on what you attempt. Notice how the centers are sometimes squares, sometimes diamonds. Such mixed solutions are much more challenging. Here is a beautiful one with all diamonds, plus some mixed combos from the book. Many ways to match edges: single edges, double-color edges, hybrids, even corners. A huge repertoire of cool figures will keep you enthralled, plus rules for two games of space ships on rescue missions — Space TowTM and Space CrossingTM — played on a 3-part sectional engraved vinyl game grid. All acrylic tiles, hand-inlaid in your choice of colors, in white or black 14" frame. Easel and felt slipcase included. Full-color rulebook. For 1 and 2 players, ages 8 to adult.$150
