Murus Gallicus is a breakthrough game of material balance, tactics, area control, and timing.

Rules

On a player's turn he or she must perform one of the following actions:
1) Move a tower (2-stack) by distributing its two stones into the two nearest cells in any one direction. Each destination cell must be empty or contain a single friendly stone.
2) Sacrifice a single tower stone to remove an adjacent enemy wall (1-stack). Sacrifice is not forced.
Goal: A player wins immediately by reaching any cell of his or her opponent's home row, or by stalemating his or her opponent.
