<p>Several years ago I was at a friends house and he had this particular item.</p>

<p>It was a box full of simple components, a board, and rules for multiple games. The idea behind it was the components were given to several designers (4 or 5 I think), and they each created a game using the components in the box. I don't remember the name of it, or the names of any of the game designers.</p>

<p>Things I remember about the games:</p>

<ul>
<li>Some of the components were wooden pegs. The pegs were of various heights, and there were the same set of pegs for multiple colours (4 or 5?)</li>
<li>One of the games was about (or a major component of it was) holding elections</li>
<li>One of the games (I think) was about building stonehenge</li>
<li>One of the games awarded the title "Mighty Beard" to the winner. I believe in this game each player was a druid</li>
<li>The passage of Day and Night was relevant to some games. Things that were good at night were bad during the day, and vis versa.</li>
<li>I think the board had circles of various sizes on it, with smaller circles inside the larger circles</li>

Several years ago I was at a friends house and he had this particular item.

It was a box full of simple components, a board, and rules for multiple games. The idea behind it was the components were given to several designers (4 or 5 I think), and they each created a game using the components in the box. I don't remember the name of it, or the names of any of the game designers.

Things I remember about the games:

* Some of the components were wooden pegs. The pegs were of various heights, and there were the same set of pegs for multiple colours (4 or 5?)
* One of the games was about (or a major component of it was) holding elections
* One of the games (I think) was about building stonehenge
* One of the games awarded the title "Mighty Beard" to the winner. I believe in this game each player was a druid
* The passage of Day and Night was relevant to some games. Things that were good at night were bad during the day, and vis versa.
* I think the board had circles of various sizes on it, with smaller circles inside the larger circles
