Watch “OSKA sounds like a teutonic toast, but it's a board game from the Great American Trading Company!,” a how-to-play guide for Oska on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by NewVenture Games on YouTube:
I have seen this board game pop up in various places around the Internet, and saved an image for future reference. Well, the future has arrived, and here's the resulting video!
This little game board led me down a twisted path of research which, I must admit, is still a partially unsolved mystery.
The game itself is a simple and fast transitional game. With just four playing pieces, you're attempting through moves and jumps to get your four checkers to the opponent's back row.
It's not a bad game - but it's not a very challenging game either. Fun for a while... for the kids, maybe.
But it's the backstory that I find interesting on this one.
