Playing board
─────────────
This game is played on the chessboard with 8 x 8
fields. Each of these fields has a value. This value is
equal to the number of neighboring fields in horizontal and
vertical direction.
Example:
- the value of the field A1 is equal to 2 (this field has
two neighbors),
- the value of the field A2 is 3, the value of the field
B2 is 4, etc.

This value determines the number of ATOMS which can be
on the given field (this will be use at explosion, see
below).
Note: Playing pieces are called ATOMS in this game.
Aim of the game
───────────────
The aim of the game is to reach the state where the
ATOMS of only one color are on the chessboard. It doesn't
pertain to the first move.
Rules of the game
─────────────────
This game is played by two players. One of them can be
replaced by the computer. The first player has red ATOMS,
the second player has blue ATOMS. The player with red ATOMS
starts the game and the players take turns moving.
The player whose turn it is puts one ATOM on one field
of the chessboard. This field can't be occupied by ATOMS of
another color (the field can be empty or with your ATOMS).
If the number of ATOMS on one field of the chessboard is
equal to the value of this field, an explosion takes place.
An explosion is an action, in which the ATOMS from the given
field are dispersed to the neighboring fields and the
exploding field will be empty. Explosions are directed by
the following rules:
- if the neighboring field is empty, after the explosion
there will be one ATOM of your color from the exploding
field,
- if on the neighboring field there were some ATOMS of your
color, after the explosion the number of atoms on this
field will be increased by one ATOM from exploding field,
- if on the neighboring field there were some ATOMS of your
opponent's color, after the explosion the number of atoms
on this field will be increased by one ATOM from exploding
field and all of these atoms will be re-colored to your
color.
If there are explodable fields on the chess-board an
explosion will obviously follow - perhaps leading to chain
reactions, which are most interesting. We suggest you see
DEMO for yourself.
We wish you plenty of fun playing this game.
