Vtg Pente The Classic Game of Skill, 1979, Third Edition, 4 Color Bags of Beads

Pente is a fast moving game of skill for 2 or more players which resembles checkers in ease of learning and simplicity, plyays like a sophisticated tic tac toe, and yet approaches chess in its tactical depth and wonderful variety. It was conceived by an Oklahoma State student while in college in 1973. First edition was in 1978, this edition is from 1979. It is complete with 4 bags of stones, instructions, original leather board with tube packaging. Tube looks like it's 47 years old, but has done its job for protecting the game board, instructions, and stones. It is missing the lid. *Please note: -Items used as photo props are not included with purchase. -I try to be as accurate as possible in my descriptions and photos.
