Online Multiplayer

Web

To host a game, add ?host=<game-id> to the end of the URL.

To join a game, add ?join=<game-id> to the end of the URL.

<game-id> can be anything that doesn't contain ? or &.

For example, to play with a friend, pick a suitable game ID. eutro will be used in this example.

1. Navigate to https://eutro.github.io/kutyagumi/index.html?host=eutro
2. Tell your friend to go to https://eutro.github.io/kutyagumi/index.html?join=eutro

To rematch, the host needs to refresh first, then the other party can do the same to join.

Jar

To host a game, run with the arguments host <game-id>.

To join a game, run with the arguments join <game-id>.

How to play

Overview

There are two colonies of cells (), red and green, fighting for territory.

Your objective is to seize more of the board than your opponent.

Placement

Cells can be placed adjacent (up, down, left or right) to other cells of their colour, provided there is no wall () between them.

To place a cell, click a suitable place on the board when it is your turn.

Note that the background colour reflects whose turn it is.

When an area can only be reached by one player, for example if it is closed off, it will automatically be claimed by that player.

Pieces

Cells

Cells are your pieces. Have more of them than your opponent to win.

Running totals are shown in the top left and right corners:

 

Walls

Walls are solid things that cannot be placed through.

Boosters

Boosters let you place again after you place a cell on them.
