Molecula társasjáték

Angol leírás

Molecula is a 2 player connection game.

The board consists of two staggered 9x9 diamond plate like grids with cells running along the outer perimeter numbered 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3 etc.

Objective - One player tries to create a connected chain of his like color stones from North to South, while his opponent tries the same from East to West, whoever accomplishes this first-wins.

Play- Two players, Black and White, take turns placing two stones of their color onto empty cells and then moving a marker in sequence along the numbered track starting on any cell marked #1 following a clockwise direction.

Player 1 only on his first turn places 1 stone onto any empty cell, after this, players take turns placing 2 stones onto empty cells a distance apart equal to the number currently marked on the numbered track.

The player that first claims at least half of the cells adjacent to one of his previously placed stones gets to claim the remainder of the adjacent cells to that previously placed stone, his opponent may not play onto those cells.

Empty spaces, friendly or enemy stones may lie between the two stones placed on your turn.

Note: Only adjacent cells are considered connected, so two cells separated by a 4-pointed star are not considered connected.
