Abeo

Components

• 61 two-sided tokens, with dark and light sides; here red and yellow are used.

• One 5 x 5 x 5 hexagonal game board.

Setup

The game board is empty at the beginning of the game. The double-sided tokens are placed by the board within easy reach of both players.

Game Play

The dark player plays first, turns then alternate. A player may not pass a turn.

On a turn, a player must place one token on any empty cell, own side up.

Following this placement, players choose one of three options:

1. They may end their turn thus placing only one token.

2. They may place a second token on any empty cell, own side up and then end their turn.

3. Lastly, they may convert (flip) an entire continuous line of one or more opponent tokens to their own color provided these tokens meet the following conditions:

• The opponent tokens must be in line with the just placed token.

• The opponent tokens must be connected to each other; no empty cells or owned tokens between them.

• The opposing line must be adjacent to or separated from the dropped token by zero or more empty spaces. Own tokens block this option.

When the entire line of opposing tokens is converted, this ends their turn.
