This beautiful and functional board has room for two teams of large marbles. Players take turns pushing the marbles around the board, with the goal of pushing six of the opposing player's marbles off the board. The central idea is that a column of marbles has weight given by the number of marbles in line. Someone will need to push with a heavier group of marbles in order to push the column along that axis. However, with six possible directions, it's difficult to defend yourself perfectly. Also, it's possible to play the game with up to six players when supplemental marble sets are purchased. ]]> 2-Players-Only Age 6+ Arrival-Dec 10 2022 Availability_Out of Stock BGG-Set BoardGameGeek Rank_Top 200 BoardGameGeek Rank_Top 300 BoardGameGeek Rank_Top 400 BoardGameGeek Rank_Top 500 Category_Abstract Category_Strategy INV-0-L INV-A Players Maximum_2 Players Players Minimum_2 Players Playtime Maximum_30 Minutes Playtime Minimum_30 Minutes Product Type_Board Games Product-International Restock-20230212 Restock-20240526-Long Source_Import Games StoreFront StoreFront-2P Year Published_1980s https://www.booyakajuice.com/products/6572851888179 Default Title 29.95 ASM06217XXX 340 https://www.booyakajuice.com/products/168090752 2015-10-05T21:24:00-04:00 2015-10-05T21:24:00-04:00 Lascaux Board Games Mayfair Games

Lascaux is a game about the French caves containing animal paintings; discovered in 1940 by four teenagers.

This auction game is based on the bidding mechanism of Michael Schacht's Mogul also implemented in No Thanks!

The deck consists of 54 cards each representing one of six animals and a combination of two colors. At the beginning of a round, cards are turned face up until all six colors are showing or seven cards are face up. All players secretly decide which color cards they hope to win at the end of the round. On their turn, players bid by placing a stone on the table. If a player passes, he picks up all the stones currently on the table and places his token on top of the token pile. The last player remaining grabs all the cards of the color he had chosen earlier in the round. The second to last player, whose token now sits at the top of the token pile, then picks up all the cards of his chosen color if any cards of that color are left. The same process is repeated for each player when their token is at the top of the token pile. The game ends when all the cards of the deck have been claimed. Players then earn points for each animal for which they have majority.

Components: 54 cards, 50 stones, 30 markers, rules.

Released: Essen 2007.

"Choose your area, start your boomerangs, capture the animal ... and beware of other players.

Auction game of bluff. Players use cards with animals of two colors to win majorities and win the animal cards. A simple mechanism but players need a good self-control to get opponents to make mistakes.
