A playable version of Ewa and Haunted Automaton's strategy game designed for the people of Ewa's River Basin. You can download a Mac build from the releases page.
Click and drag to place pieces on the board. Click on a piece to unfold it.
The AI uses a minimax algorithm with alpha-beta pruning. There are lot of possible moves every turn, so if you want it to be any good you will have to give it a lot of time.
Game Rules:
- The game is played on an 8x8 grid.
- Each player has twelve pieces, made of cloth.
- Each piece is folded into small squares that can be unfolded twice before play.
- On your turn you can either place a piece on an empty space, or unfold one of your pieces that is already on the board.
- Pieces that are covered by an unfolding cloth are locked and cannot be unfolded.
- Play continues until neither player can make a legal move
- The winner is the player with the most spaces covered by their pieces. Only count the top layer of cloth.
