Capture all of your opponent's pieces.
개요
Surakarta is a traditional Indonesian strategy game named after a city in Java. Its unique feature is the capture mechanism: pieces capture by traveling along curved loops (arcs) in the corners of the board, making it unlike any other abstract strategy game.
설정
The game is played on a 6x6 grid with curved arcs connecting the corners. Each player has 12 pieces arranged in the two rows closest to them (24 pieces total). Players choose colors; typically dark moves first.
플레이 방법
- On your turn, either move one piece or capture one enemy piece.
- Regular movement: Move one piece orthogonally (up, down, left, right) to any adjacent empty square.
- Capture: A piece captures by traveling along at least one corner arc and landing on an enemy piece.
- Capture paths must pass through at least one arc loop before hitting the enemy piece.
- The capturing piece can travel any distance along straight lines between arcs.
- The captured piece is removed; the capturing piece takes its place.
- You cannot capture without using at least one arc.
- You cannot pass over your own or enemy pieces during a capture path (except the target).
게임 승리
Win by capturing all opponent's pieces. If neither player can capture, the player with more pieces wins.
