Check Lines
Check Lines is a vintage two-player abstract strategy game, and this copy is the 1970 Tri-ang edition, a little pocket game. Each player has five pieces on a lopsided board. The aim is to be first to arrange all five into two straight lines of three, with one piece shared between them.

About the game
This little game has been out-thinking people since 1970.
Gobgob's favourite bit: Two lines of three from only five pieces means one piece has to pull double duty in both lines. Gobgob calls it the hardest-working piece in the box.
