My Shazam! Christmas gift from Scott was a homemade copy of Snakes and Foxes from Wheel of Time.

This is the playing board and it comes with player pieces and enemy pieces in snake symbols and fox symbols. The dice tell you who can move and how far on the board and the board has arrows showing how everyone can move. Players start in the center and move to the edge, and if they can get back to the center they win. The game is designed to be unwinnable, unless you play as a Ta’veren which adds extra rules and enables a player to win.

We played it at Chocolatea today and got lots of interested folks looking on. Maybe also helped sell some folks on Wheel of Time itself. LOL!

It’s a one of a kind thing and apparently it took quite an effort to assemble. I’m thoroughly impressed and touched. To be able to play a central game featured in the book series is quite something!
