WizMiz is an Abstract Board Game for two players. A strategy game of 18 red dots vs 18 blue dots that is simple, fast & challenging. Each dot may move one or more squares at a time: vertically, horizontally, or diagonally – but not backward. The object of the game is to move your color dots across the board to the last opposite row. Two ways to win: 1. The first player to fill the last opposite row with 8 dots wins, or 2. The first player that has all of their remaining dots on the last opposite row, and none of their other dots left on the play field. You move by touching your dot then an empty square, or touching your dot then your opponents dot, removing It from the play field. A fast-moving strategy game for all to play. WizMiz was created by Jack Boasberg in 1986. Updated in 2019 at Lightorium.com, LLC. Developed by Juggleware.
Qirkat
Read full descriptionHide full description
Qirkat – also known as alquerque – is a board game that was popular in Medieval Spain, played by kings and queens and caliphs and commoners alike. Although it evolved into other popular games like checkers, qirkat itself was largely forgotten – until now. Play against another human or the AI – or watch the AI play itself. Includes documentation, move suggestions, analysis tools, and three short stories. Rules: - Whichever player runs out of moves (or pieces) first, loses. - You can only move forward or sideways onto a free point. - You can't move a piece back to a point it's already occupied. - But you can jump over your opponent's pieces in any direction. - In fact, you have to jump if you can. - Multiple jumps are possible. - That's it!
