Hidden-information strategy · Capture all enemy pieces to win

How to Play

All 18 pieces per side start face-down on a 6×6 board. On your turn, either flip a covered piece to reveal it, or move an uncovered piece one step (orthogonal).

Piece hierarchy (higher captures lower):

🐉Dragon×1
🤖Robot×1
🧙‍♂️Wizard×2
🐶Dog×4
😸Cat×4
🐭Mouse×6

Special rules: 🐭 Mouse captures 🐉 Dragon — but Dragon beats everything else.

Abilities (can be toggled on/off in setup):

🐉Dragon — Push: Push an adjacent enemy one square away (space behind must be clear).
🐉Dragon — Enflame: Go up in flames. Burning Dragon is immune to Mice and can kill them — but loses 1 power every time it moves, cycling down through the piece hierarchy until it burns out.
🐭Mouse — Hop: Jump over any adjacent piece to the empty square beyond it.
🧙‍♂️Wizard — Transform: Permanently become 4 Mice — line (Wizard stays + 3 extend in a direction) or explosion (Wizard vanishes, 4 Mice surround it).
🤖Robot Wants Kitty: If a Robot sees a friendly Kitty in danger from another piece, it can race to help — capturing any enemy along a clear orthogonal line if a friendly (non-burning) Cat is adjacent to the target. The Robot moves to the target's square. A burning Robot cannot snipe.
🔥Pyromania: Any burning piece can spread fire to an adjacent uncovered enemy, setting it ablaze. Costs the spreader 1 power level — all the way to burnout.

When a piece with an ability is selected, action buttons appear in the skill tray below the board.

Eliminate all opponent pieces to win.
