{"product_id":"awithlaknannai-ludos-america-edition-board-game","title":"Awithlaknannai America Board Game","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAncient Strategy, Reimagined for the Modern Table\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's something quietly compelling about a game that has survived centuries. Awithlaknannai is a traditional board game of the Zuni people of the American Southwest — a two-player contest of movement and capture that rewards patience, spatial thinking, and the ability to read your opponent's intentions one move ahead. It doesn't need flashy components to create tension. The board does the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Living Piece of Game History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLemery Games brings this ancient Zuni game to a wider audience with the LUDOS America Edition, part of a broader effort to preserve and celebrate traditional games from cultures across the Americas. Awithlaknannai — sometimes called \"stone warriors\" — is played on a geometric board where two players manoeuvre their pieces in an attempt to capture all of their opponent's stones. The rules are learnable in minutes, but the strategic depth that emerges from the interplay of positioning and capture will keep experienced players engaged long after the first session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of game that invites conversation as much as competition — about where it comes from, how it was played, and what it reveals about the people who created it. It belongs equally on a game shelf and in a classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAwithlaknannai is a two-player game, and that intimacy is core to the experience — this one belongs on the table with a friend, a partner, or a thoughtful teenager looking for something beyond mass-market fare. It plays in well under an hour, sits firmly in the light weight range, and is accessible to players from around age 8 and up. It's a strong choice for anyone drawn to abstract strategy games, cultural history through play, or simply a clean, elegant head-to-head challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LUDOS America Edition is presented in a format suited to both retail play and gift-giving, with a clearly produced board that reflects the geometric tradition of the original game. Lemery Games has kept the presentation faithful to the spirit of the source material while making it approachable for a contemporary audience. If you appreciate games where every component serves a purpose and nothing is superfluous, this edition delivers exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eLemery Games\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003ePlayers\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eRecommended Player Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eAge Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e8+\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003ePlay Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e20–45 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eGame Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eLight\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eLanguage\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Lemery Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44701178003544,"sku":"LMGLDAWI001","price":16.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4980\/8728\/files\/s-l1600_29439d89-94f3-45fb-9e8d-f69c51228321.jpg?v=1788369709","url":"https:\/\/borealgaming.com\/products\/awithlaknannai-ludos-america-edition-board-game","provider":"Boreal Gaming \u0026 Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
