About the game
Get ready for Four Senses (also known as Megateh): you'll be playing blindfolded or with your eyes closed! The idea is to use your sense of touch to place differently shaped wooden pieces on the board, and your memory to remember where everything is. The goal is to be the first to complete one of three winning conditions: forming a line with 4 identical pieces, aligning 4 different pieces on the same level, or building 3 rising steps (1-2-3). It's a super cool 3D game for 2 or 3 players, perfect for those with visual impairments, but don't be fooled: it's challenging and fun for everyone! The game relies entirely on touch, with no sound effects, and promotes an evening of strategy, gameplay, and good conversation, whether you are sighted or visually impaired. The quality of the wooden pieces adds a special touch, and the tactile experience is the highlight. Prepare to sharpen your senses and surprise your friends with this brilliant move!
