About

A game inspired chess/draughts with an unique height mechanic.

Instructions

Click on the white square to begin.

You are the reds.

Like other games the aim is to eliminate the blues. You eliminate a blue piece by gaining the 'higher ground'.

The height of a square is indicated by its shade of grey. Lighter being higher. To gain the higher ground over a piece a red piece must be in line with it, on a higher square and with a clear line of sight. There is a clear line of sight when all the squares between the red piece and blue piece are lower than the square where the red piece is positioned. Also, spending time on a square lowers its height, forcing the player to move.

Pieces can be moved in straight horizontal or vertical lines, like a rook in chess.

You take turns with the (simple) blue player AI to make a move. Click on a piece and then click the square you wish to move that piece to.
