Cone Sanctuary is one of A-O-A's "Big Games," featuring a 23" x 26" roll-up board and pieces 3" across.

Cone Sanctuary is a move and capture abstract played on a hex grid. On your turn you can introduce a new piece, move 1-2 pieces a total of up to 2 spaces, or move your Sanctuary Shield, which is a clear cone that fits over the other cones (pieces) to protect them. You immobilize and capture the opposing pieces by moving next to them, with the object being to reduce your opponent to two pieces (which prevents capturing).

The game is basically for 2 players, but can be played by 2 teams (it says).
