Abstract strategy for two players
PARALLAX
Change the Board. Change the Game.
A strategy game on a 7 × 7 board. Move a piece, or shift an entire row or column and take your opponent’s pieces along for the ride. Easy to learn, hard to master.
How to play
On your turn, do one of two things. Then hold the centre.
- 1
Move
Step one of your four pieces one square up, down, left or right.
- 2
Shift
Or slide a whole row or column one step. It wraps around the edge and carries everything on it, your opponent’s pieces included.
- 3
Hold three
Five objective squares form a cross in the middle. Hold any three at once and you win immediately.
Three rules keep every shift meaningful
Foothold
You may only shift a line that holds one of your own pieces.
Line lock
The line your opponent just shifted cannot be shifted at all, in either direction, on your next turn.
Opening
The very first action of the game must be a move.
