A beautifully crafted 2-player abstract strategy game. Winner receives a $250 shopping spree at the booth!
Description:
Your turn is in two parts. First, a player may move one of their stones up to two spaces in any direction, including diagonally, in what is called a passive (or set up) move. Second, they take a more aggressive move, which must be the same direction and number of spaces as the first move. It is this second move that allows you to push stones across the board - or off the board's edge. Remove all four of your opponent's stones from just one of the four boards to win. Players will play in 3 preliminary rounds; top scorers will advance to elimination play.
