Lines of Action

Category Board, Space, Group

Description

Lines of Action was invented by Claude Soucie in 1969. It is played on an 8x8 board with twelve pieces per player.

Rules

A player wins by connecting all of one's pieces into a contiguous body so that they are connected orthogonally or diagonally. Players alternate moves. Pieces move orthogonally or diagonally. A piece moves exactly as many spaces as there are pieces (belonging to both the player and their opponent) on the line in which it is moving. A piece may jump over the player's own pieces, but not over one belonging to the opponent. A piece can capture piece belonging to the opponent by landing on it.
