Stay Strong, Stand United

Staff and Bones is a simple but strategic board game involving tactics and observation. It is played on a checkered board with 25 squares arranged in a 5 x 5 grid. At the start, each player controls four game pieces - one staff and three bones, which are identified as big bone, small bone, baby bone. The object of the game is for the player to unite their four pieces in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row. The big bone can be played on any of the checkered box, the small bone can move up to 2 boxes while the baby bone can only move up to 1 box. The staff cannot be placed in the centre grid of the gameboard (Bone centre) and once placed its position is fixed until rescued...

For Individuals, For Teams, For Families

The game is played by two player types - single individuals (who control all the pieces) or families/teams (who collaborate with each controlling one of the pieces). This makes the game dynamic suiting all occasions but the experiences may differ in both. Among the player types, the common rule is that the staff plays first and it's position once played is fixed. When played among families/teams, 4 or 3 members for each player is needed. In the case of 4, the 4 pieces of the game are each controlled by one person but in the case of 3, one person controls both the staff and the big bone. We suggest that the staff should be the head of the family or the head/coach of the team...
