Kamisado Free

Kamisado is a game of pure skill and abstract strategy with no dice, cards or other chance element - it's just you against your opponent! Kamisado has designed by Peter Burley.

The aim in each round is to be the first to get an octagonal "dragon tower" to the opposite side of the board; towers move in straight lines, either forwards or diagonally forwards. The twist is that you must move the tower of the color matching the space on which the opponent moved on her previous turn. As the game progresses, you'll find that the routes you want to use are blocked by enemy towers - and sometimes your own! If you can't move, your opponent moves again immediately, moving the tower matching the color of the space occupied by the stymied tower.

# Gameplay

The players’ towers start the game on the row nearest to them. The players take turns moving one tower any number of spaces in a straight line, either directly forwards or diagonally forwards, but not into or through a square already containing another dragon tower.

The player with the black dragons moves first and may choose any tower. From this point onwards, each player must move the dragon tower that matches the colour of the square that the opponent’s last move finished on. The object of the game is to reach your opponent’s Home Row with one of your dragon towers. The first player to achieve this goal is the winner of the round. The game may be played as single rounds.
