Description (607 chars)

Trimula appears to be an implementation of 3D Noughts and Crosses. It looks from the box that it was released sometime in the early 70s. The contents consists of a clear plastic 3D game board which can be assembled and disassembled at will, and a more than adequate number of large glass marbles in two colours. However whilst it is a game in a 3 x 3 x 3 matrix, it has very different win conditions to Tic Tac Toe in that the player with the most row of 3, when the pawns are all played, wins. There are a number of other such games where the players use 3 boards arranged to yield 27 playing positions.
