Octiles
Octiles is a racing game for 2-4 players.
The
board uses an unusual grid with square posts interspersed
among
octagons. Runners perch on the posts, and traverse
paths drawn on
the octagons.
Each move consists of placing (or replacing) a tile, and
moving a
runner over a path that includes that tile. The
runners can't
bump or capture each other, so the game is to block your
opponent's
advance by a combination of occupying the posts he would
prefer, and
creating lines which let you advance rapidly while your
opponents creep
forward one post at a time.
Read the official rules
for
details.
Robots: pretty strong -
bots are
good at tracing lines.
