The Elm Game

An abstract board game for two players - human or AI - that is easy to learn yet hard to master, played on a tree stump with beautiful procedurally generated backgrounds. GAMEPLAY The players Black and White take turns. Each turn a player chooses to either place a stone on any free point of the board or to change the color of any trapped stone. A stone is trapped if at least two stones of different color lie next to it. The game ends when there is no free point left and whoever has the most stones on the board wins. CPU PLAYER You can play with a friend locally or remotely, or you can choose from three different CPU players: The Fly is the easiest AI, meant for casual players or beginners. The Beetle is a more advanced AI for people who want a challenge. The Snail is the hardest AI, meant for highly professional players.
