Acquisition

Note this is a tentative release as Acquisition is still under development.



Created by college students David Grischuk and Micah Borden for fun, Acquisition is free, free from ads, and opensource. The source code for this project is available at https://github.com/abstractdonut/acquisition.



How to Win:

Acquire more pieces than the opponent by the end of the game



How to play:

- Players alternate turns moving pieces between squares

- Pieces may be moved either horizontally or vertically

- A single move shifts all the pieces away from a given square

- Players can move pieces from any square on each turn

- The distance which pieces are moved must be the same as the number of pieces which are moved

- Pieces may not be moved onto an empty square

- Moves may 'bounce' off the edge of the board

- On the standard board (7x7), a player that creates a stack of 6 or more pieces removes those pieces for scoring

- The game ends when there are no available moves on a given turn



Features:

- Play against a friend or computer

- Game variants make it possible to experiment with different rule sets

- Auto save allows users to navigate away from the app and returned to the same game later
