From the rhinoceros and the elephant, which one is the strongest? This question has been hotly debated since the dawn of mankind. Now, you get to pick a side! Siam, a game from Didier Dhorbait published by Ferti Games, is now available on Board Game Arena.
In Siam, rhinoceros and elephants are competing to be the first to push a rock out of the board. An elephant or a rhinoceros can push a rock, but you need two animals pushing in the same direction to push two aligned rocks. An animal can push another animal too, except if the other animal is pushing in the opposite direction. And finally, an animal can push a whole line with multiple rocks and animals, if opposite forces don't cancel his effort. So you will have to be very mindful of the direction in which every animal is pushing, which is indicated by an arrow above the animal.
On your turn, you can do one of the following actions:
-
place one of your animals on the board (on one of the border cells)
-
remove one of your animals from the board (if it is on one of the border cells)
-
move one of your animals, then choose the direction it is facing
-
stay in place and change the direction one of your animals is facing without moving it
-
or push! Either with an animal already on the board, or with an animal outside of the board, pushing while entering the board.
This simple set of rules creates a lot of possibilities. You'll be really surprised to see how often a situation seems hopeless, and still, one push done the right way will change everything! Siam is a clever and elegant game, with a fun theme, and beautiful illustrations by Biboun. We like it a lot, as well as the other games from the colourful Sugoï series created by Ferti Games:
We would like to thank Ferti Games for their authorization to create an adaptation of Siam on Board Game Arena, and the designer Didier Dhorbait for helping us playtest the game!
So, from the rhinoceros and the elephant, who do you think is the strongest? 😁
Siam
Od nosoroga i slona, koji je najjači?
O ovom se pitanju žestoko raspravlja od zore čovječanstva.
Sada, morate odabrati stranu!
Siam, igra Didiera Dhorbaita u izdanju Ferti Gamesa, sada je dostupna na Board Game Arena.
Igrajte sada!
U Siamu se nosorozi i slonovi natječu da bi prvi izbacili kamen iz ploče.
Slon ili nosorog mogu gurnuti stijenu, ali su vam potrebne dvije životinje koje guraju u istom smjeru da gurnete dvije usklađene stijene.
Životinja također može gurnuti drugu životinju, osim ako je druga životinja gura u suprotnom smjeru.
I na kraju, životinja može gurnuti čitavu liniju s više stijena i životinja, ako suprotne sile ne odustanu od njegovog napora.
Dakle, morat ćete biti jako pažljiv u smjeru u kojem se gura svaka životinja, a to je naznačeno strelicom iznad životinje.
S druge strane, možete učiniti jednu od sljedećih radnji:
- stavite jednu od svojih životinja na ploču (na jednoj od graničnih ćelija)
- uklonite jednu od svojih životinja s ploče (ako je na jednoj od graničnih ćelija)
- premjestite jednu od svojih životinja, a zatim odaberite smjer prema kome je okrenut
- ostanite na mjestu i promijenite smjer s kojim je jedna od vaših životinja okrenuta, bez da je krećete
- ili gurati! Ili sa životinjom koja je već na brodu, ili sa životinjom izvan ploče, gurajući se dok ulazi u ploču.
Zahvaljujemo Ferti Gamesu na njihovoj ovlaštenju za stvaranje adaptacije Siam on Board Game Arena, a dizajneru Didieru Dhorbaitu za pomoć u igranju igre!
Dakle, od nosoroga i slona, što misliš, tko je najjači?
