WELCOME TO ISHIDO An ancient puzzle that will test your meditative and strategic powers. Balance the yin & yang of patience vs. the quick score.

OVERVIEW Ishido is a board game where you attempt to match stones according to their colors and patterns. THE GAME BOARD * The Game Board is eight squares high by 12 squares wide. * Stones come in sets of 72 stones. Each stone has two attributes: A color and a symbol. There are six symbols and six colors in each stoneset, thus creating 36 unique stones. Each stone comes in a pair, hence 72 stones in each stoneset. * The Within consists of the interior squares. * The Beyond consists of the squares at the outer edges of the board. * The Touchstone displays the next stone to be played. * The Scoreboard shows both the number of points scored, and the number of combination matches achieved. * The Pouch shows the number of stones remaining to play.
