Octi
Octi is a stripped down version of the board game Octi, which was designed by Donald Green.
 
Objective: To win, get any of your pieces onto one of your opponent's Octi spaces.
 
Each player starts with 7 pieces (pods) and 25 prongs. A move consists of either:
(a) adding a prong to a piece
(b) moving a piece in the direction of one of its prongs
(c) dropping a pod on an empty Hexi space (some variants only)
(d) making one or more jumps in the direction of a prong.
 
When jumping, you may choose to capture any jumped piece - whether friend or enemy.
 
Octi for Kids
Also included is Octi for Kids - a simplified version of the program which is easier for children (and computers) to play. In this version:
- players have unlimited prongs
- jumping an opponent's piece always captures it
- jumping a friendly piece never results in a capture.
 
Zillions programmers may be interested to note that this is the second implementation of Octi for Kids. Donald Green's own implementation (also available for download) is more subtle, but I have always felt that subtlety is overrated, and it seems that Zillions agrees with me... with a short thinking time, at least!
