A great family game.

Kyro: 5 Rules, Endless Strategy

A fascinating game of pure strategy like checkers and Go but with a

three-dimensional twist.

The pyramid-shaped pieces move across triangular cells by sliding,

or flipping to reveal colored sides with different rules of movement.

 

Easy to learn, very tricky to master.

A premium giveaway designed for an early tech company back when

Carter was President (he had been a peanut farmer) and the Hot Rock

(a parody of action toys) was hot.

Instructions explain how the peanut had been programmed to fall at

32 feet per second, float in water, follow an arc in flight, etc. which

was all just part of the spoof.
