Sage Stones

About Sage Stones, from BoardGameGeek:

In the age of swords and sorcery, disputes were settled not by metal and fire, but the cunning, tactics, and luck of Sage Stones. Battle your fellow Sages and win the chance to forge your own empire! Sage Stones is a piece placement, dice rolling strategy game for 2 - 6 players. Each player rolls 3D3 (3D6 with numbers 1-3 repeated twice) and places a stone on the corresponding column. The first Sage to place all 10 of their stones wins. However, should your pieces become surrounded, your pieces will be banished from the board. The dice themselves can help or hinder your efforts! The game boards provide a play area but are also nothing short of a work of art. Made from exotic and local woods, pearlescent colored resin, and then sealed within a resin layer, each board is as unique as the Sage who owns it. The boards also come with a routed hanging notch to easily display the board in your Study. -description from the publisher
