Forms

Overview
Forms is a two-player abstract board game played on a square board with a rectangular grid that was invented by Steven W. Meyers in 2007.

Board

Forms is played on a square board with 18x18 cells.  Other even sizes can be used like 8x8 or 12x12.

Initially the board is filled with black and white stones as shown in the following picture:

Objective

A player wins if all his stones are removed from the board.

No draws are possible in Forms.

Play

Players move alternately, starting with the player with the black stones.

A move consists of three steps:

  1. A player selects one of his stones.
  2. The player moves the selected stone to any cell occupied by an opponent's stone (the opponent's stone is removed from the board).
  3. The player removes all stones (both black and white) that aren't connected to the moved player's stone with some chain of adjacent (either horizontally or vertically) stones (both black and white).

Below is an example of a move:

 

A player selects one of his black stones. The player moves the selected stone to a cell occupied by a white stone. The player removes all stones that aren't connected to the moved black stone.
