Publisher Description
PLAY WHAT THE ROMANS PLAYED, on your iPhone/iPod Touch. It is the year 20 BC. Emperor Augustus has brought peace to a young Roman Empire. Two friends sit upon the steps outside the amphitheatre, locked in concentration over a stone board upon which glass pieces have been placed, trying to gain an advantage over one another. They re playing Ludas Latrunculorum, a game already hundreds of years old, which enjoys a high level of popularity within the Empire. Now you can play what the Romans played on your iPhone/iPod Touch. Using the latest in Artificial Intelligence, we ve recreated this ancient game for your enjoyment. Rules: * The initial board configuration is automatically set-up by the computer. * Black moves first. * Players alternate turns during which a single piece of the player's own colour is moved. * Pieces may move horizontally or vertically any number of spaces (like Chess rooks). * A single stone is captured if it is surrounded on two opposite sides by pieces of the opposing colour. * The outside walls cannot be used to capture pieces. * A stone in the corner is captured by two stones of the opposing colour placed across the corner. * Multiple stones can be captured along a line. * If a player moves into position to capture a line of several opposing pieces which includes the Dux, the Dux is not taken but the other pieces are. * The Dux cannot be captured, but can be immobilized by being surrounded on all four sides. * The first player to immobilize the enemy Dux wins. * The Dux is immobilized if it is blocked by an enemy stone such that it has no place left to move. * If the game stalemates, the player with the most captured enemy stones wins. * The game ends when 30 moves are made without a capture, with the player with the most pieces remaining on the board declared the winner.
Requires iOS 2.2.1 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
