Ming Mang is a Reversi style game from Tibet (now a part of China).
Originally configured with a 17x17 board layout, more common 8x8 boards have
been substituted. A 12x12 variant is also included here.
Starting positions have each player's pieces filling an outside
row and adjoining column.
The total number of on-board pieces doesn't change during gameplay.
Note: Only the 8x8 variant operates correctly under Zillions v1.31.
Object:
Win by capturing all of your opponent's disks or forcing a stalemate. Moves are
comprised of two parts:
- Slide one of your side's pieces orthogonally across any number of adjacent empty squares.
- Additionally, all enemy pieces orthogonally sandwiched between the newly placed disk and
another friendly piece will be flipped.
(Diagonal directions are NOT included within this game.)
Two graphic sets are included, board dimensions have the disks aligned to the spaces
rather than upon the lines.) |
