| HopQuad is a new game and the goal is to achieve four-in-a-row; a quad (the word 'quad', or 'quadruplet', means "a combination of four of a kind") . 'Quads' on the diagonals don't count. The game is played on a chess/checkers board, alternatively the smallest Go board, when the 8x8 cells are used. Counters are dropped on the board, one by one. White must always drop the second counter on the rim (to reduce first-move advantage). Between drops, and also after all counters have been dropped, they can move one step in all directions (also diagonally), and also hop over any piece in any direction. Multiple hops are allowed. To stop hopping prematurely, press 'Pass Move.' Note that it's admissible to move a counter before all counters have been dropped. Similar to Go-Moku, 'overlines' don't count (i.e., 5-in-a-row, or more). |
