Originally published in 1892. Updated rules, board designand variants by
Daniel Danzer (2010)
Colorito was first published in London, 1892. To the new genre of boardgames with the final goal to cross the board with the pieces (established by Halma in 1883), the unknown author added two crucial elements:
Numbered pieces and
two colours per player.
Colorito became popular enough to be one of Anastasias (youngest daughter of the last Czar) favourite leisure activities at about 1915.
The original rules were researched at the British Library for this edition and now you can play this truly unique abstract again - with two added variants.
Colorito has a light feeling, but enough depth to be a challenge for experienced gamers.
