I own this game and really enjoy it. A great game to pull out anywhere, easy to explain, and each game/round is 5-10 minutes. Game comes with 12 tiles and 9 go out each game, with each tile able to be rotated.. basically the playing "board" has TONS of combinations so lots of replayability. Components are great quality, thick tiles the same as high-quality coasters and nice wooden pieces. BE WARNED: This game is not like chess and more like checkers. The photo shows 16 tiles but the same only comes with 12. The description says 4 players but that is ONLY possible with TWO COPIES of the game where you would use some of those tiles and the pieces. The wooden pieces are the tall ones you see and NOT the short ones. TO END: This is a great game and worth having if you like abstract strategy, no-luck, quick play, take anywhere games.
