The original Canoe board in play in designer Bruce Alsip's Seattle office.  At the time, Bruce was engaged in a play-by-email game with someone in California.

Completely handmade copy, a labor of love!
This corner of the board, with the Canoe logo, is called the Leather. The Leather is where dice are rolled and where scoring cube sets bear off the board.

Overview

Canoe is an abstract board game. In the spirit of backgammon, you move your pieces, which are dice reminiscent of backgammon doubling cubes (but with faces 1, 8, 16, 24, 32, and 40), onto and off of a grid. The board is a very nice mahogany so it makes for a nice coffee table game.

From the designer's website:

People, in particular those who enjoy backgammon, are thrilled when they discover my new strategy game.

Purists want a game that will endure. One with history and style, one that is handmade, affordable, unique, and, yes, with a chance to wager.

Canoe™ is a world-class strategy game. Simple to learn, yet difficult to master. I believe you will find Canoe is an excellent companion, whether played at home or while traveling.

Ownership of a beautiful game created and made in America is very special in today's world. I take pride in offering you Canoe™.
