DaVinci's Challenge is a board game distributed by Briarpatch.

Background

Leonardo Da Vinci's drawing of the flower of life that inspires the game

Da Vinci's Challenge is a game that contains mysteries as old as the pyramids. The pattern of circles that forms the game board is called the Flower of Life. It is one of the oldest symbols known to man, first inscribed on Pyramid walls by the Egyptians over 6,000 years ago. It can be found in the temples, art, and manuscripts of cultures from all over the world. Leonardo da Vinci studied its form and its mathematical properties. Throughout human history, philosophers, artists, and architects have known the Flower of Life symbol for its perfect form, proportion, and harmony. It is a visual expression of the connections life weaves through all mankind.

Objective

Score the most points by using your pieces to create patterns worth different point values. Your pieces can also be used to block your opponent from creating patterns. The game is over when no more patterns can be made by either side. The player with the highest score is the winner.
