The FOROS Game Brings Timeless Fun with a Modern Twist

— March 4, 2025 — Life-Stages
The 'FOROS' game redefines family game night with a beautifully crafted, strategy-driven experience that’s as fun as visually striking. Designed with high-quality maple wood, this sleek, modern take on a classic four-in-a-row challenge offers endless opportunities for competitive and creative play.

Created by Dr. Ken Scheel, the mind behind 'KEVA Planks,' FOROS is simple to learn yet endlessly engaging. Players take turns stacking or lining up their wooden game pieces -- natural cubes and blue cylinders -- to be the first to connect four in a row. But as the game progresses, so do the strategies. Will you build vertically, block an opponent’s move, or create a new winning formation?

Beyond the game itself, FOROS also encourages open-ended play with bonus activities that challenge spatial reasoning and creativity. With no screens, no complicated rules, and an elegant tabletop design, this is the perfect game for any age. Available now and ForosGame.com.
