It features large (2.5cm/1 in. diameter) blue and clear acrylic balls for the noughts and crosses pieces, clear acrylic playing boards on three levels held in place by rods with plastic spacers and brass screw on ends. It's a display piece perhaps, as it looks quite striking when simply set up with an arrangement of the coloured balls in place on a shelf or table. Alongside traditional noughts and crosses, instructions are also given for three other game variants using the same balls and three-dimensional board.

The game is complete and in good condition. The box has seen better days and is fragile as well as showing signs of age and storage. It shouldn't be relied upon too much. The instructions are also there, but similarly showing evidence of age.

When set up the game dimensions are approximately 15cm x 15cm x 16cm (6in x 6in x 6¼in).

It's quite unlike most other Ludo games, featuring as it does a white plastic (perspex or similar) board which sits up above the surface, aluminium playing pieces, and a minimalist black and white aesthetic throughout. It's Ludo, most certainly, but an adult version with "mod" sensibilities. It's as if Mary Quant had designed it, in many ways.

The set is in good condition with only very minimal signs of any use, whilst the outer box does have more significant signs of age and storage wear and tear. The board measures approximately 30cm square with a height of 5cm (12 in. and 2 in. respectively) and the playing pieces measure approximately 1.5cm (5/8 in.) square. A pair of original (somewhat discoloured|) playing dice are included.
