Read full description

ChipFlip combines elements of classic board games with a novel mechanic where pieces can flip based on their neighborhood. The game challenges players to think several moves ahead and consider the cascading effects of each placement. ChipFlip was developed as a graph-paper-and-pencil game by one of us in the early 1970s. Influenced by Conway's Life, it is an exploration of emergent gameplay from simple rules. The AI opponent uses a minimax algorithm with alpha-beta pruning to provide a challenging experience across multiple difficulty levels. How to Play :Place white chips strategically on the board to flip your opponent's black chips. Chips flip when they have 4 or more neighbors of the opposing color. The player with the most chips when the board is full wins! See the **Rules** section for complete gameplay details.
