Halma
DescriptionHalma (from the Greek word meaning "jump") is a board game invented in 1883 or 1884 by an American plastic surgeon at Harvard Medical School, George Howard Monks.

Pieces are typically black and white for two-player games, and of various colours or other distinction in games of four players.

In two of the four corners of the board a heavy red line..." Game DiscussionsAdd CommentYou need to be logged in to comment. Insert Bullet List Please enter at least one item.
