AMAZONS
Copyright (c)1988 Walter Zamkauskas
Amazons is played on a 10x10 board, with the following setup:
- MOVES - White moves first, and turns alternate. Each turn consists of two parts, and both parts are mandatory.
- The player first moves one of his amazons. Amazons move as a chess queen. Amazons may not jump over or land on other pieces or arrows.
- Next, the Amazon which just moved "fires an arrow" from its new location. Arrows can be show in any direction, the same as a chess queen, and may not jump over or land on other pieces or arrows. Once an arrow lands, it acts as an immovable barrier to all arrows and amazons.
- GOAL - The first player that cannot finish his turn, loses.
An example White moves 1. g1-b6,c7. The arrow landed on c7, so neither player can cross that intersection.
There is a ZRF to play Amazons with Zillions.
There is also a variant Killer Amazons
where it's possible to capture any Amazon of either color.
