Hedu társasjáték

Angol leírás

Introduction:Hedu (from Old English: Hēahþu, meaning "Height") is a finite game for two players: Black and White. It is played on the hexes (spaces) of a initially empty hexagonal board. The recommended board size is 7 spaces per side. Each player has access to a sufficient supply of stackable pieces of their own color.

Definitions:– A stack is a set of pieces located at the same space, one on top of the other. A single piece is also a stack.
– The height of a stack is the number of pieces it contains.
– A group is a set of stacks of the same color and height that are connected to each other.
– The size of a group is the number of stacks it contains.
– A region is a group of height 0 stacks, in other words, it is a set of one or more uninterrupted empty spaces bounded by stones of any color that fill all adjacent places.
– You control a region if you have a friendly group higher than your opponent's adjacent to it. In case of equality, the size of that height is compared and other friendly groups with that same height are used if there are any, and so on with the following heights.
– Increase is adding pieces on top of one or more stacks.
– Reduce is removing pieces from one or more stacks and taking them off the board.
– A prisoner is a piece that is removed when reducing a stack and is taken off the board to be placed next to the player of the opposite color.

Turns:Black plays first and then turns alternate. On your turn, you can either pass your turn or take these actions in the following order:

1. Place a stack of height N of your color on an empty space (where N cannot be zero). The height of a stack is equal to the number of adjacent regions.
2. Reduce all enemy stacks, and then friendly stacks, according to the number of adjacent regions each has.

3. Increase all stacks, both friendly and enemy, according to the number of adjacent regions each has.

End of the Game:The game ends when players cannot make any placements. At the end of the game, each player counts his points by adding the value of the regions he controls, plus the number of captured prisoners, plus half a point for the player with the highest group of largest size (in case of equality, the process continues in a similar way to region control until reaching height 0). The value of a region is equal to the height of the highest friendly group adjacent to that region.

The player with the highest score at the final position wins.

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