  We discuss theories with the exceptional centerless gauge group G(2), paying
attention to confinement and the pattern of chiral symmetry breaking.
Exploiting the Higgs mechanism to break the symmetry down to SU(3), we also
present how the familiar features of confinement and chiral symmetry breaking
of SU(3) gauge theories reemerge. G(2) gauge theories show up as an unusual
theoretical framework to study SU(3) gauge theories without the ``luxury'' of a
center.
