Colormaze/Flying Colors
Colormaze with its Flying Colors supplement was chosen by Games as one of the 100 best new games for the year 2002. Here's John McCallion's write-up from their December 2001 "Buyer's Guide to Games" in the family games category:
COLORMAZE/FLYING COLORS (1 to 8 players)
Has longtime GAMES contributor Stephen Sniderman added "a galaxy of games" or a way of life to a Kadon favorite? Go stones, and tiles in six colors, offer puzzlers limitless abstract strategy games. Sniderman begs players to explore their own combinations of his basic ideas. Puzzles, solitaire and cooperative, are also plentiful. Our favorite, "Together," has two to four players attempting to arrange a mess of tiles into color groups by moving one per turn like a chess rook. For beginners, "any score under 36 is respectable." His best so far is 17. Can you beat it? Probably not — there's too much here to distract you! — JJMcC
