Frasvel társasjáték

Angol leírás

Introduction:Frasvel (from Proto-Germanic: Fraswelganą, meaning "to absorb, devour") is a drawless game for two players: Black and White. It is played on the hexes (cells) of an initially empty hexagonal board with triangles. The recommended size is 5 cells per side, but it can be played on a 6-sized board for longer games or a 4-sized board for shorter games. Each player has access to a sufficient supply of applicable pieces in their own color.

Definitions:– A stack is a set of pieces located at the same cell, one on top of each other. A single piece is also a stack.
– The height of a stack is the number of pieces it contains.
– A dead stack is a stack adjacent to a higher enemy stack, otherwise it is a live stack.

– A controlled cell is a cell adjacent to more friendly stacks of higher height than enemy stacks.
– A group is a set of stacks with the same height connected to each other. A single stack is also a group.
– To absorb involves removing the top piece of an enemy group that has equal or lower height than a friendly stack when moving and touching that group through an empty cell. As a result, the enemy group decreases its height by 1 while the newly moved stack (or the group it is part of) increases its height by 1 for each enemy group it touches. This process can be repeated when moving towards other enemy groups.

Turns:Black plays first, then turns alternate. On your turn, perform one of the following actions:

1. Place a stack of your color with height 1 on an empty cell not adjacent to friendly stacks.
2. Move a stack of your color a distance equal to its height in a straight line, absorbing at least one enemy group in the process, provided it does not touch any enemy group of greater height. Additionally, a stack can jump over friendly stacks.
3. Pass your turn.

End of the Game:The game ends when both players pass their turn consecutively. At the end of the game, points will be tallied by adding together the controlled points, the live friendly stacks, and the dead enemy stacks, in addition to awarding an extra half point to the player who passed their turn first.

To ensure fairness, before the game begins, the first player places a black stack on an empty cell, and the second player chooses a side. This balancing method is called the pie rule.
