How did Foros win so many awards?
With its simple rules and cross-generational appeal, Foros has been dominating the toy awards scene. Complex strategies are possible but not required, ensuring the game never grows old or boring. Games run short (3-10 minutes), perfect for busy schedules or short attention spans. The game pieces are crafted from solid, hard wood and perfectly finished. They are intentionally larger than typical coffee table game pieces, providing a satisfying, high-quality tactile feel that judges consistently praised.
What's included:
- 1 - 8 x 8 x .25 inch double-sided playing surface
- 48 - wooden playing pieces
- Instruction booklet
Foros was invented by the founder of KEVA Planks, Ken Scheel, after identifying a desire for a simple, beautiful tabletop game to use as an icebreaker with people who prefer games with easy to understand rules. It combines many of the characteristics loved by fans of KEVA planks, such as high quality wooden pieces, low tech brainwork, and inclusive play.
Foros is available for purchase here at KEVAplanks.com and at DorenToys.com alongside Ken's other inventions, as well as Amazon.
