Cintos is a territorial game which is best described as a cross between Othello and Risk however the play is quite different from both.
Cintos is a unique strategy board game with online play. The game is played on an 8x8 board, with 2 or 4 players (0-4 humans).
Play rotates with each player moving one piece up, down, left, or right by one space, capturing pieces based upon the space was moved to. The objective is to capture all of the pieces.
Here are some key features of "Cintos":
The Board
Cintos is played on an 8x8 board. The board is divided into territorial regions of 4x4 squares. Each shows the initial state of the board at the beginning of a game.
The Pieces
The Cintos board has 16 pieces at all times. The color of the pieces represents the owner (or capturer) of the piece. With the exception of color (and hence owner), there is no difference between any two pieces.
Objective
A player wins when he/she captures all the other pieces. When a piece is captured, it turns the color of the capturing player and can then be used by that player. Thus, a player loses the game when all of his/her pieces have been captured. When a player loses, the capturing player gains the territory of the losing player.
Turns
Turns in Cintos begin with the red player and continue clockwise based upon starting territory. Thus, in the 4-player game, the game would play as follows: red, yellow, blue, green, red, yellow, blue... On each turn, a player moves one piece. The piece may move (by one space) up, down, left or right into an empty space. No diagonal moves are allowed. Once the move is made, pieces are captured (see next section) and the turn has ended.
Capturing Pieces
When a piece is moved, the space moved to is the center of the area considered. The 3x3 square centered at the space moved into (the space and its eight bordering spaces) is the area of interest. Either all of the pieces in the 3x3 area will be captured, or no pieces will be captured.
