Game Triodi (Chios)
Date 1949-01-01 - 1949-12-31
Rules 3x3 intersecting lines. Three pieces per player. Players alternate turns placing a piece on the board. When all of the pieces have been placed, the players alternate turns moving a piece to an empty adjacent spot. A piece which is surrounded on opposite sides by pieces belonging to the opponent cannot be moved. The player who places three of their stones in a row along one of the lines wins.
Content " Crossroads (to triodi). A rectangle is chalked on the pavement and divided into four squares by lines drawn parallel to the other sides from the centre of one side to that of the other. The players standing at a fixed distance take each three stones and each palys in turn with the object of placing his stones in a straight line; and the one who succeeds first wins. If a stone is between two belonging to the opponent, it may not be moved and is considered blocked." Argenti and Rose 1949: 1018-1019.
