Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

Fanorona is a 2-player strategy game from Madagascar played on 9×5 board with intersecting lines. The game play involves moving your piece to any adjacent empty intersection. You can capture opponent’s piece either by moving your piece next to opponent’s piece or, moving your piece away from opponent’s piece. In this process you also capture all other opponent pieces along the same line and direction beyond that piece and remove them from the board (as long as it is not interrupted by an empty intersection or player’s own piece). This version lets you play against a bot or, another player on the same device.
