That's a sweet Baja. :)
Cool game too - I agree about the similarity with Shut the Box.

Hey Norm! I was watching old 80s commercials on YouTube (as I do every December) and saw a commercial for a game I completely forgot about… Orient Express (1986, Jumbo). Done a review of that one? Would love to see you cover it, as there aren’t a whole lot of videos out there about it. Take care!

I own this and I like it a lot. I've done a (strange) version for the TableTop Simulator workshop, even. Thanks!!

I had this game and loved it. The board cracked so we threw it away. My husband is a wood worker and wants to try to make a board. Does anyone know what the dimensions are?

I think you roll until you can't anymore, then turn goes to your opponent.

I recently picked up this game but havenʼt gotten it to the table yet. A lot of my game sessions include too many people for the two‐players‐only games, alas — I enjoy playing with a good group, of course, but the two‐player games need some love too! I find shut the box a lot like tic‐tac‐toe in that they donʼt provide enough to foster interest in playing them, yet thereʼs something about them thatʼs intriguing variant fodder. Well, maybe I can get this one played soon…
