NekonyancerWelcome to *Lines of Action,* a simple abstract game with substantial strategic depth. So substantial, in fact, that a World Championship has been held in England every year since 1997! [green][tip] This tutorial is best viewed on a computer![/green]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerEach player starts with *twelve* pieces: six on one side of the board, and six on the other. [blue]Your objective is to connect all these pieces together either orthogonally (left/right/up/down) or diagonally![/blue] [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785ecedcaa559.30429780.jpg[/img] In this example, the white player won!2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerOn your turn, you must select and move one piece. The number of spaces it can move is equal to the number of pieces in the line it's moving in. *Click on the indicated piece.* You'll see what I'm talking about.3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment010token_36 16
NekonyancerThe selected piece's possible destinations are now shown with [blue]blue circles.[/blue] There are two pieces in [red]*this column,*[/red] so the piece can move two spaces in that direction. The same goes for [green]*this diagonal line!*[/green]1bgae_content_1763b511ea6f14300token_55 5 bgae_content_82 1 token_106 5 bgae_content_30 1 bgae_content_109 3 bgae_content_66 1 bgae_content_69 3 bgae_content_21 1 bgae_content_33 3 bgae_content_9 1 bgae_content_74 3 bgae_content_68 1 bgae_content_45 3 token_36 5
NekonyancerThere are *six* pieces in this [red]*horizontal row,*[/red] though, so the selected piece can move six spaces horizontally! [green][tip] Note that you can jump over your own pieces![/green]2bgae_content_463b511ea6f14300token_54 1 token_57 1 token_18 1 token_44 1 token_110 1
NekonyancerWe want to connect all our pieces, so moving toward the center seems like a decent idea. *Click here to move!*3bgae_content_963b511ea6f14310bgae_content_9 16
Nekonyancer*Good!* Now it's our opponent's turn.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b511eb9758c00
NekonyancerNext, *select this piece.*1bgae_content_2463b5124382e1210token_44 16
NekonyancerNote that [green]*this space*[/green] is *not* a possible destination! That's because you cannot jump over your opponent's pieces! You can only jump over your own!1bgae_content_1263b5124a9a25f00bgae_content_13 8
NekonyancerHowever, you CAN jump precisely [blue]*ONTO*[/blue] them! [red]If you do, you can remove them from the board![/red]2bgae_263b5124a9a25f00bgae_2 2
NekonyancerYou know what? I don't feel like moving that other piece. *Select this one instead!*3bgae_content_163b5124a9a25f10bgae_content_1 16
NekonyancerNow look at this [green]*diagonal line.*[/green] There are *three* pieces in it, so the selected piece can move *three* spaces, jumping over one of our own pieces and landing precisely on one of our opponent's!1token_5763b5125350ff000bgae_93 3 bgae_content_9 3 bgae_content_45 3 bgae_content_1 3
NekonyancerLet's do it! *Click on this square!*2bgae_9363b5125350ff010token_87 16
NekonyancerGreat! Our opponent's piece was moved to the [red]"Captured pieces"[/red] box. [green][tip] Capturing pieces is generally a good thing because our opponent will have a harder time blocking us, but it also means they have fewer pieces they need to connect together![/green]1token_8763b5125e17f0800bgae_content_107 1
Nekonyancer[green]Okay, you've seen everything there is to see![/green] Remember, the game will end when one player successfully connects all their pieces together, either orthogonally or diagonally!2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment63b5125e17f0800
