Arimaa Trainer vs Pulog

Arimaa is one of the fastest growing modern strategy games. Rules are simple and intuitive enough for kids to play easily, yet there is more than enough strategic depth to satisfy the most demanding gamer. If you enjoy challenging games like Chess, Checkers, Go, or Shogi, discover Arimaa and see why it was chosen in the Discovery Channel's list of the Top 10 Mind-bending Strategy Games and also recommended by Scientific American MIND magazine. “The rules are simple enough for kids to learn, and the game was creative and engaging.” —Frederik Joelving; Scientific American Mind magazine With millions of opening setups to choose from, every game requires creative thinking right from the beginning and no need to memorize openings. It's a never ending puzzle, each game is different. In just the first 10 moves of Arimaa there's more possible games than there are atoms in our universe. “Because the number of possible moves in an Arimaa position (roughly 20,000) is much higher than in chess (about 30 or so), even the fastest computers will not be able to search very far into the tree of possibilities.” —R. Wayne Schmittberger; GAMES magazine This Arimaa app includes a video tutorial to teach the rules of the game making it easy to get started. There are increasing levels of difficulty to help you build your skill, and a score to let you know how well you played. Try beating the AI faster or by losing fewer pieces to top your high score.

Push your way to victory — one clever shove at a time. PULOG is a push-based logic puzzle with two very different ways to play: outthink an opponent in the strategic Classic game, or lose yourself in the fast, endless solo puzzling of Crusher Mode. CLASSIC PULOG — Outsmart, don't out-click • Push a row or column from the edge to slide your stones toward the open space — but only if you hold the majority there. • The board rewards planning: every move shifts exactly one space, so nothing is ever left to chance. • Surround the red stone on all four sides with your color to win. • Play against a friend, or take on an AI that actually plans ahead. • Rewind any move with the Steps counter, or shuffle up a brand new board with Randomize. CHALLENGE MODE — Six AI, six mountains • Face all six AI difficulty levels back-to-back, each one tougher than the last. • No undo, no bailing out partway — beat them all, or start over. • New music unlocks as you climb, with something special waiting at the top. CRUSHER MODE — NEW! Push, match, chase the high score • A solo puzzle, no opponent: push any stone in any direction and watch it — and its neighbors — go flying until it hits something. • Line up 3 or more matching stones to crush them for points. Chain reactions feel great. • Colors ease in gradually, wave by wave, until the full board is in play. • Clear every color and only the red stone remains — burst it for a bonus, bigger the faster you clear the board. • It never really ends: waves keep coming, and your score keeps climbing until you decide to stop. • Watch for the occasional hazard stone — it visibly cracks under pressure as its countdown ticks toward zero. • Fast fingers? Push more than one stone at once. • Chase your best runs on the High Scores list and Game Center leaderboard. No timers pressuring you between sessions, no pay-to-win — just push-based puzzling, your way.
