Rimau (board)
Rimau is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Malaysia. It is a hunt game, and specifically a tiger hunt game (or tiger game) since it uses an expanded Alquerque board. One tiger is being hunted by 24 men. The tiger attempts to eat the men, and the men attempt to trap the tiger. Unique to Rimau (and the two-tiger variant Rimau-rimau), the tiger can capture a line of men in a single leap. There must be an odd number of men in the line, and they must be adjacent to one another. In most hunt games, the tiger, leopard, or fox is only able to capture one prey in a leap. Origins ''Rimau'' in Malay means "tiger". The men are called ''orang-orang'', the plural of ''orang'' which means "man". Rimau is played on the same board as the game Rimau-rimau, which has two tigers and 22 or 24 men. Both games share similar rules. Rimau is a hunt game, specifically a tiger hunt game (or tiger game); this family of hunt games uses an Alquerque board or a variant thereof, including ...

Buga-shadara
Buga-shadara, also known as Bouge Shodre, is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Tuva, a republic in Siberia, Russia. It is a hunt game where one player plays the deer (which is "buga" in the Tuva language). There are two deer usually represented as the black pieces. The boars are also referred black in the referenced article "Buga-shadara a folk game from Tuva". The other player has 24 white pieces with dogs associated to them. The board consist of an Alquerque board flanked on two of its opposite sides by a square patterned board (referred to as "side-houses" in the referenced article). Because the board is in part an Alquerque board, this makes Buga-shadara a tiger hunt game (or tiger game). What makes Buga-shadara unique among tiger games are the expansion boards on the two opposite sides of the Alquerque board. They are square, whereas most are triangle-like. The word "shadara" resembles the word "shahdara". The "shah" part "is a title given to the emperors/kin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kaooa
Kaooa is a two-player abstract strategy game from India. It is a hunt game like Rimau, Rimau-rimau, Main Tapal Empat, Bagha-Chall, the Fox games, and Aadu Puli Attam. However, what makes Kaooa unique is that the board is a five-pointed star or a pentagram. Kaooa is also known as Vultures and Crows. One vulture goes up against seven crows. Goal The goal of the crows is to block the movements of the vultures. The goal of the vulture is to capture four crows which is enough to prevent the crows from ever blocking its movements. Equipment A five-pointed star or pentagram is used which makes for ten points or spaces on the board that pieces can be dropped and moved upon. There is one vulture piece, and seven crow pieces. The vulture and crows must be of different color or distinguishable objects. Rules and game play 1. Players decide who will play the vulture, and who will play the crows. 2.

Catch The Hare
Catch the Hare is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Europe, and perhaps specifically from Spain. It is a hunt game, and since it uses a standard Alquerque board from the game Alquerque de Doze, it is specifically a tiger hunt game (or tiger game). In some variants, some or all of the diagonal lines are missing which makes it difficult to classify as a tiger game in general. One hare is going up against ten to twelve opponents(hunters or hounds). The hare is the "tiger" in this hunt game which is prey and predator at the same time. The hare can capture the opponents by leaping over them (short leap method). The opponents attempt to surround and trap the hare. The game is the earliest recorded hunt game in Europe, and perhaps even the first hunt game from Europe (other than Bear games and Hare games). The earliest record of the game is in Alfonso X's "Libro de los juegos" or "Book of Games" in 1283. The record shows a game called cercar la liebre, a game played in ...

Sua Ghin Gnua
Sua Ghin Gnua is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Thailand, formerly known as Siam. Another name for the game is Tigers and Oxen. It is a hunt game played on a 5x5 square grid with only orthogonal lines. One player plays the three tigers, and the other player plays the twelve oxen. The board is empty in the beginning. Players first drop their pieces onto the board, and then are able to move them. The tigers can capture the oxen by the short leap as in draughts and Alquerque, but the oxen attempt to elude and at the same time hem in the tiger. Sua Ghin Gnua most resembles the tiger hunt games (or tiger games) such as Bagh-Chal, Rimau-rimau, Main Tapal Empat, Catch the Hare, and Adugo since they all use a 5 x 5 square grid. But tiger games technically consist of a standard Alquerque board which is a 5 x 5 square grid with several diagonal lines criss-crossing through it which are completely missing in Sua Ghin Gnua. There are however some variants of Catch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Komikan
Komikan (from the Mapuche kom ikan "to eat all") is a two-player abstract strategy board game of the Mapuches (known by the Spaniards as the Araucanians) from Chile and Argentina. The same game is also played by the Incas under the name Taptana, Komina, Comina, Cumi, Puma, or Inca Chess. In modern Quechua, the language of the ethnolinguistic group that are the descendants of the Incas, Taptana means "chess". It is known by the Aymaras, a neighboring ethnolinguistic group to the Quechuan people, as kumisiña. Throughout South America the game is known as El león y las ovejas which literally means "the lion and the sheep". The lion is actually a puma as there are no lions native to the Americas. The Mapuches also call it El Leoncito. J. I. Molina, in 1787, described it as ‘''el artificioso juego del ajedrez, al cual dan el nombre de comican''’ which translates to "''the ingenious game of chess to which they (the Mapuche) give the name comican''". Komikan may actually be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Adugo
Adugo is a two-player abstract strategy game from the Bororo tribe in the Pantanal region of Brazil. It is a hunting game similar to those in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. It is especially similar to Komikan, Rimau, Rimau-rimau, Main Tapal Empat, and Bagha-Chall as they all use an Alquerque-based board. Adugo is specifically a tiger hunt game (or tiger game). Komikan may be the same game as Adugo. Komikan is the name given by the Mapuches in Chile. In Adugo, the jaguar ("adugo", in Bororo's language) is hunting the dogs. The jaguar (Panthera onca) is called "onça". The dogs are called "cachorro". The game is also known as Jaguar and Dogs. It is thought that the Spanish brought Alquerque to the Americas, and this accounts for the use of the Alquerque board in this game. Equipment The board used is an expanded Alquerque board with one triangular patterned board on one of its sides. There is only one jaguar and 14 dogs. The jaguar is colored black, and th ...

Abstract Strategy Games
Abstract strategy games admit a number of definitions which distinguish these from strategy games in general, mostly involving no or minimal narrative theme, outcomes determined only by player choice (with no randomness), and perfect information. For example, Go is a pure abstract strategy game since it fulfills all three criteria; chess and related games are nearly so but feature a recognizable theme of ancient warfare; and Stratego is borderline since it is deterministic, loosely based on 19th-century Napoleonic warfare, and features concealed information. Definition Combinatorial games have no randomizers such as dice, no simultaneous movement, nor hidden information. Some games that do have these elements are sometimes classified as abstract strategy games. (Games such as '' Continuo'', Octiles, '' Can't Stop'', and Sequence, could be considered abstract strategy games, despite having a luck or bluffing element.) A smaller category of abstract strategy games manages to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
