Abagio will get families back into the ‘family room.’ It’s easy for the entire family to learn and yet has plenty of strategy elasticity to keep everyone engaged for hours. Undoubtedly one of the cleverest new games introduced in years. Throw out the Backgammon—get Abagio!

—Ron DeFore, Principal, Strat@comm, Inc., Washington D.C.

Abagio isn’t just a better version of Backgammon, it’s a whole new game that allows the user to develop higher orders of strategy, while still giving beginners a fighting chance. My students find it both stimulating and relaxing. If we’d have had Abagio instead of Backgammon in the 70’s . . . we’d still be playing!

Turn off the TV, and start leaping and heaping. Normally we don’t play strategy games, but this game intrigued us. We found that Abagio quickly becomes addictive as well as very entertaining. This game is leaps and hops ahead of games out there today.

Since purchasing Abagio over the internet my children, wife and myself have all enjoyed playing the game together tremendously. Unlike Backgammon, the board and pieces are creatively designed. The concept of the “Top Frogâ€? is key to the strategy of the game. Playing games with family is an important part of social interaction and since I’m a chess enthusiast, it is hard to find people in my family or friends to play with. Abagio is the perfect answer to a fun game that all members of the family can compete in. I highly recommend this quality game to others that enjoy the time spent with friends and family members playing games and being competitive.
