We are proud to introduce today on BGA some unusual game : Alveole.
On the contrary of all games on BGA, this game is NOT a board game. The explanation is at the end of this news.
Alveole is an abstract game for 2 players. The goal of the game is to connect all your pieces in a single group. At your turn, you must move a piece on the hexagonal grid along a direction. Your piece is moving exactly as many spaces as there are pieces on the line in which it is moving. Ex : if on a line there are 2 pieces, you can move a piece 2 spaces along this line.
If you finish your move on one of your opponent piece, you capture it BUT you can never jump above any opponent piece. And that's it!
Now, where does this game come from?
At the beginning, there was an abstract board game : Lines of action, created by Claude Soucie. Its mechanims were fun, so it inspired a video game studio (Motion Twin) to create a game with similar mechanisms based on an hexagonal grid named Grapiz (or Amonite). This game had a lot of success on some games portal.
Recently, the developer of Hive BGA adaptation (Cédric Leclinche) asked Motion Twin and BGA if it would be possible to have this game online. As this is a very good strategy game, we found that it would be useless to say no, so we said yes and here it is! Unfortunately for legal reasons we can have the game but not its name, so we chose to name it Alveole!
BGA would like to thank Cédric Leclinche for having this idea and for developing this game using BGA Studio and Motion Twin for their authorization to have this game here.
Enjoy!
Alveole
与BGA上面的游戏不同,这款游戏并不是桌游。 在文末我们对此有解释。
Alveole 是一个2人抽象游戏。 游戏的目标是连接在一个组中的所有你的棋子。 在你的回合,你将沿六边棋盘的一个方向来移动你的棋子。 你能移动的步数和这个方向上的棋子数目相同。 例如:若该线上有两枚棋子,那么你可以将其中一枚沿这条线移动两格。
如果你完成行动时恰好落在对方的棋子上面,那么你将捕获这枚对方的棋子。但是你不能跳过对方的棋子。 就是这样 !
那么问题来了:这游戏是怎么问世的?
在开始的时候,这是一个抽象的棋盘游戏︰行动方针,由Claude Soucie设计。 它的机制很有趣,所以它启发了一个电子游戏工作室(Motion Twin),创建一个基于六角网格、有着相似机制的游戏,命名为Grapiz (或Amonite)。 这个游戏在一些游戏门户网站上取得了很大的成功。
最近,昆虫棋的BGA开发者(Cédric Leclinche) 问Motion Twin和 BGA 是否能够开发这个游戏。 这是一个很好的策略游戏,拒绝它是没有意义的,所以我们说︰ 是的它可以! 不幸的是出于法律原因,我们可以有这个游戏但不能使用它的名字,所以我们选择了叫Alveole!
BGA 想感谢Cédric Leclinche ,他提出了这个创意,并使用BGA 工作室开发了这个游戏。我们也要感谢Motion Twin的授权。
享受!
