Anaash társasjáték

Angol leírás

анааш is a two player game played on a 6x6 (or 8x8...) checkerboard initially filled with a checkered pattern of red and blue checkers. All checkers are in stacks of like-colored checkers. A singleton is a stack of height 1.

The two players, Red and Blue, take turns moving their own stacks, one stack per turn, starting with Red. If a player has a move available, he must make one. If he has no moves available, he must sit the game out and wait until he does have a move available. At least one of the two players will always have a move available.

Draws cannot occur in анааш.

Move typesThere are three types of moves in анааш: Positional, Stacking, and Capturing. All are orthogonal (horizontal or vertical), single square moves.

Positional moves: Move one of your stacks to an orthogonally adjacent, unoccupied square which is one square closer (Manhattan distance) to its nearest stack, regardless of color or height. Manhattan distance is the sum of the horizontal and vertical distances between two squares. Only stacks with no orthogonal adjacencies can be positionally moved.
Stacking moves: Move one of your stacks onto an orthogonally adjacent, friendly stack of equal or larger height.

Capturing moves: Capture an orthogonally adjacent enemy stack of equal or smaller height.

Object of the gameTo win you must capture all enemy checkers.
