Quivive (1998)

Quivive is a game of avoiding running out of moves. The board is made of 49 disks -- some are stacked to double and triple height. On your turn, you must move your pawn to an adjacent, unoccupied disk in any direction -- horizontally, vertically or diagonally -- and remove any unoccupied disk of your choice. You lose if you no longer have a legal place to move your pawn. The last player left wins.

Like most Gigamic products, the game is nicely produced out of wood.
