About Rock Me Archimedes

Rock Me Archimedes is a two player abstract game requiring both strategy and dexterity. The game is named after the ancient Greek mathematician, famous for describing the principle of the lever. The game consists of: a wooden board affixed to a rounded base, forming a teeter-totter assembly; 14 white marbles and 14 black marbles; and a specially numbered die. The length of the board is engraved with a grid of spaces in which to fit the marbles, 16 rows of 3 spaces each.
