We are proud to introduce today on BGA some unusual game : Alveole.
On the contrary of all games on BGA, this game is NOT a board game. The explanation is at the end of this news.
Alveole is an abstract game for 2 players. The goal of the game is to connect all your pieces in a single group. At your turn, you must move a piece on the hexagonal grid along a direction. Your piece is moving exactly as many spaces as there are pieces on the line in which it is moving. Ex : if on a line there are 2 pieces, you can move a piece 2 spaces along this line.
If you finish your move on one of your opponent piece, you capture it BUT you can never jump above any opponent piece. And that's it!
Now, where does this game come from?
At the beginning, there was an abstract board game : Lines of action, created by Claude Soucie. Its mechanims were fun, so it inspired a video game studio (Motion Twin) to create a game with similar mechanisms based on an hexagonal grid named Grapiz (or Amonite). This game had a lot of success on some games portal.
Recently, the developer of Hive BGA adaptation (Cédric Leclinche) asked Motion Twin and BGA if it would be possible to have this game online. As this is a very good strategy game, we found that it would be useless to say no, so we said yes and here it is! Unfortunately for legal reasons we can have the game but not its name, so we chose to name it Alveole!
BGA would like to thank Cédric Leclinche for having this idea and for developing this game using BGA Studio and Motion Twin for their authorization to have this game here.
Enjoy!
Alveole
與BGA上的所有遊戲都不相同 ,這個遊戲並不是桌遊。 這則新聞的結尾將會解釋原因。
Alveole是一個抽象的雙人遊戲。 遊戲的目標是將你所有的棋子連在一起。 在你的回合時,你必須沿六角網格向一個方向移動一枚棋子。 你的棋子移動的空格數與該行上的棋子數目相等。 例如︰如果在一條線上有 2 顆棋子,你可以將你的一枚棋子沿著這條線移動 2 格。
如果你停在對手的棋子上,你可以吃掉它,但不能跳過任何對手的棋子。 就是這樣!
所以,這個遊戲是怎麼來的呢?
起初,有一個抽象的棋類遊戲︰集結棋,它是由Claude Soucie發明的。 它的機制非常有趣,因此啟發了一間電玩遊戲工作室(Motion Twin),創建了一個使用六角網格的類似遊戲並命名為Grapiz (或Amonite) 。 這遊戲在一些遊戲入口網站上獲得了巨大的成功。
最近,改編蟲蟲蜂房(Hive)的 BGA開發人員 Cédric Leclinche詢問Motion Twin 和 BGA 是否能讓這個遊戲上架。 因為這是一個很好的策略遊戲,我們沒有辦法向它說不,所以我們說︰好,然後它就出現在這了! 不幸的是,出於法律因素,我們可以擁有這遊戲但不能使用其名,所以我們將這遊戲命名為Alveole!
BGA 想感謝Cédric Leclinche 想到這個點子並使用BGA Studio開發出這個遊戲,以及Motion Twin授權這遊戲於此。
好好享受吧!
