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 (link opens in new window). 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. |

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)
 Very limited edition, POCKET LOOPS, Kaleidoscopic—19 tiles that may have 1 or 2 colors, multiple tile patterns, and make pretty kaleidoscope-like symmetries. $15 (Shipping discount)

DEZIGN-8TM This concept was created in 1959 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.

Guest appearance! PUZZABILITIESTM ...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. $29

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. 
Each tile is divided through the middle into 4 triangles, to give each side its own color, in every combination of 3 colors. Edgematch the tiles to create
symmetries and ribbons of color with frosted mirror accents that give the design a metallic gleam. Custom orders are invited from our extensive
