Otero Games is proud to present Roundabout™. The company was founded by Greg Otero and Dan Blumberg, longtime friends and business partners. Sharing a similar hobby of playing board games, Greg and Dan noticed that something was missing in the steady stream of adult parlor games that has been flooding the market in recent years.

Where were the new and exciting games for two players that could pick up where Backgammon left off? And was there ever a family game that adults enjoyed playing as much without their kids as with them? To fill this void, Greg and Dan combined some of the elements found in many of the more popular interactive, multi-player games with the classic appeal of traditional strategy games and created Roundabout - A "Revolutionary" Board Game Destined To Become A Classic! (www.PlayRoundabout.com).

For 2 to 4 Players ~ Ages 10 to Adult
MSRP: $19.95 U.S. / $24.95 Canada

2 Player Game in Progress
Packaging
Played on a round board, players roll dice and move their game pieces in two opposite directions at the same time. They advance their pieces using Roundabout’s innovative offensive maneuvers and stymie their opponents with the game’s defensive moves. The first player to remove all of his or her pieces from the board is the winner!
 
A two-player game offers unlimited possibilities for those who enjoy a more challenging game, while the three and four player games encourage players to choose between going it alone or forming alliance after alliance. And that’s where the fun and excitement really heat up.
