    Pentalpha is back

    Sunday, October 19, 2008, 08:07 AM [General]

    We just finished a limited run of 25 wooden hand-colored Pentalpha games featuring my original Celtic pentagram design. I originally created it as a solitaire/puzzle game that was played on a five-pointed star, but many of our original boards were bought for altar pieces for our Pagan/Wiccan customers. (Solstice is coming...  Roll Eyes )
