Where it came from
Kensington was published in 1979 by Milton Bradley, emerging during a period when the board game industry was experimenting with abstract strategy designs that blended traditional influences with modern, modular aesthetics. The game was created by Scott Simon, who intended to offer a deeper, more cerebral experience than the standard roll-and-move titles that dominated the mass market at the time, positioning it as a sophisticated alternative for adults and serious hobbyists.
The game is noted for its distinctive hexagonal board and the goal of forming specific geometric configurations with colored pegs. Its design was aimed at challenging players to manage spatial relationships and defensive maneuvers simultaneously. While it received modest attention upon release for its elegant, minimalist look, it eventually faded from mainstream popularity as more complex Euro-style games began to enter the market in subsequent decades.
