The object of Skava is to move a piece into your opponent's "portal" at the far corner of the board. Pieces move one orthogonal space and capture by replacement.
 
The board is five-dimensional (2x2x2x2x2). The initial board set-up consists of a piece in its portal surrounded on all five sides by friendly pieces.
 
The board is constructed as follows:
The two 2x2 boards on the bottom left form a regular 3D board. The two 2x2 boards on the bottom right also form a regular 3D board. These two 3D boards are connected through the fourth dimension, such that each space in one 3D board is orthogonally adjacent to its counterpart in the other. The two 3D boards on the bottom thus form a 4D board. The two 3D boards on the top similarly form a 4D board. These two 4D boards are connected through the fifth dimension. The entire 5D board is symmetrical. Any eight spaces that share two common dimensions may be considered a 3D board, and any sixteen spaces that share one common dimension may be considered a 4D board.
 
Any corner space in a cube of n dimensions will always have a unique "opposite" corner that is n orthogonal moves away. In a square, it takes two orthogonal moves to go from one corner to the other. In a cube, it takes three orthogonal moves. In a 4D hypercube, it takes four moves, and in a 5D hypercube, used in Skava, it takes five moves. Thus, it takes five orthogonal moves to go from black's portal to white's portal.
 
Skava is a move-based game that allows you to navigate the five axes of 5-space. For a placement game played in five dimensions, check out Hyperspace.
 
 
You should extract the game preserving path names.
