A simply stunning game evoking Irish legends and producing ever-changing Celtic knot designs as players build ringforts and link their kingdoms with bridges. Every detail has been thought of with consummate artistry for visual, mental and tactile pleasure...

... stunning ... simple in conception ... the most original 2-player game I have come across in years and ... also one of the best.
Counter Magazine

Overall, it is arguably the most impressive set of abstract variants ever developed.

Inspired by the Book of Kells and its mesmerising patterns woven amongst the vellum pages, Project Kells evolved. Standing atop the Hill of Tara and contemplating the conjoined ringforts of Forradh and Teach Chormac, the games of Sacred Hill and High Kings of Tara were born. Both games are for two players.

Steeped in the ancient legends of Ireland’s Celtic heritage and royal past, these unique games of pure strategy are appreciated by young and old alike. Easy to learn, yet a lifetime to master, this is truly a gift to treasure.
