Makyek is a two-player board game from Brunei. It has an unusual method
of capture called intervention in which a piece moved between two of
the opponent's pieces captures both of them. In Malaysia it has
the name Apit-sodok.
The goal of the game is to capture your opponent's pieces.
There two methods of capture. A piece may be captured if it is sandwiched
between two of the opponent's pieces (this is called custodial capture). A piece may also capture two of the opponent's pieces if it is moved between
those two pieces (this is called capture by intervention). |
