Gigamic Pylos Classic Game Review
With just four rules, this simple but elegant game from France's legendary Gigamic is easy to learn, and each full game of Pylos takes only 10 or 20 minutes to complete.

But clever rules concerning moving and removing the balls will have you second-guessing and thinking ahead to formulate the perfect strategy. --Paul Hughes
