Giveaway of the Day - Surakarta
This board game originates from the Indonesian island of Java. It gets its name from a large town in middle of the island, the old capital Surakarta.
At the start of each game both players have 12 identical pieces, placed in two rows of six in front of them, on a grid containing six horizontal rows intersected by six vertical lines. The aim of the game is to capture all of your opponent’s marbles. If at the end of the game nobody can move, the winner is the player with the most remaining pieces.
Players take turns moving their marbles: a move or a capture.
- Moving a marble to a free adjacent space in any direction: horizontal, vertical or diagonal;
- Capturing a marble can only be done by using one or more of the 8’s «three quarter circles» in the four corners of the board. The move for capturing, in this case can only be made horizontally or vertically, using as many intersections as necessary so long as the spaces are free! The marble rolls along either the blue or green line around one or more of the curves until it hits an opponent’s marble, hence capturing it and taking its place.

Comment by Bob — July 24th, 2007 at 3:08 amGame Giveaway Of The Day asks us to support them and their mission..
Which is all good and that.. But with these MERSCOM games, they think it is OK to not correctly point the link to the actual games website.. Only http://www.merscom.com. When these games show like this.. I remove my banner ad for them..
What needed 1024 MB RAM?? It’s impossible…..
