Escabel
DescriptionEscabel is a drawless connection game for two players: Black and White. It is played on the intersections (points) of an initially empty square grid (board). The top and bottom edges of the board are colored black; the left and right edges are colored white. DefinitionsA stack is a set of one or more pieces piled onto each other on the same point. The color of a stack is the color of its topmost piece, which denotes its owner. The height of a stack is the number of pieces in it. A crosscut is a 2x2 area containing two diagonally adjacent black stacks and two diagonally adjacent white stacks. Two like-colored stacks are considered connected in the following cases:
PlayBlack plays first, then turns alternate. On your turn, perform exactly one of these actions:
You win if, at the start of your turn, there is a chain of connected stacks of your color touching the two opposite board edges of your color. You lose if, at the start of your turn, your opponent has such a chain and you have no moves available. To make the game fair, White will have the option, on their first turn only, to swap sides with Black instead of making a regular move. NotesFor a variant, allow piece movement only between stacks that belong to the same crosscut, or start the game with the board fully covered with black and white pieces in a checkered pattern. On odd-sized boards, the two possible checkered setups may be used. Escabel was inspired by Matteo Perlini's Consta. Game DiscussionsAdd CommentYou need to be logged in to comment.
