| Object: Move your pieces to your opponent's home turf.
You play as Red against Blue. Each player owns 18 men.
The empty board shows 20 hexagonal arrangements (called 'platforms') of six positions.
First click the green light in the task bar to randomize the board.
The center of each platform now contains a (horizontal or sloped) bar.
The bar symbolizes a rotating piece of track.
Your pieces can
- either move straight into any direction along empty positions as long as the bars
which are crossed are pointing into the same direction.
- capture an enemy piece with a straight move that ends in the opponent's home turf.
- or rotate one step (60 degrees) around the center of a platform,
thereby rotating all pieces on that platform.
However, to do this you must have more pieces than (or the same number as)
your opponent on the platform.
If your opponent has also a man on the same platform, he/she cannot immediately
undo this rotation in the next move.
Your goal is to move all the pieces you have left into your opponent's home turf.
(Blue's home turf consists of all light blue positions, Red's of all yellow positions).
Variant 2: same board, 30 pieces per player.
Variants 3-5: Larger board; similar home turf.
Variants 6-11: Larger board and larger home turf.
The variants have up to 42 pieces per player.
Board design based on an idea by Florin Ilie. |
