Kalah

Desert life must be pretty short on fun if, as this game would have us believe, Kalah has wasted more time in desert countries than any other pursuit. It is a very simple board game involving moving counters around a set of two rows of pits with two larger pits at the end.

The objective is to force your opponent into a position in which he cannot make a move or to collect over half the counters in your end pit. Talent Computer Systems have spent so much time on the trimmings - excellent graphics and music, that they have lost sight of the objective, which is to produce an enjoyable and addictive game.

Talent's Kalah is a sheep in wolf's clothing. Chess has depth that is lacking in Kalah.
