Antagon is a turn-based reflexion/strategy game (freeware), in which two distant players can confront each other online.
Here are the game rules:
- Each player leads a team (red or blue),
- The two teams confront each other on a 6*6 squares board,
- Each team incorporates 3 pawns.
- The pawns, while moving along, paint the squares they stride with the color of their team.
- Once there is no neutral square left, the victorious team is the one which holds the greater number of squares of its color.
- Hazard partially interferes with the game, insofar as pawns move according to a 4 squares long traject, traject which has a random shape (like in Tetris, for instance).
- At each turn, you have about 20 seconds to make a move.
- Held squares can be recaptured at any moment by the adversary.
- The edges of the board are "open": when a pawn, during its move, hits an edge of the board, it lands on the opposite edge.
- So reversals can happen very frequently, to the end of the game.
- The game can be played with the keyboard.
Three game modes are available:
- Network game (which permits to play against other players through the web)
- Game against computer (3 difficulty levels)
- Demo mode (the computer plays against himself)
The game requires the installation of a client module (available on http://www.antagon.net/en/antagon_download.php).
Network game requires to open an account on the game website (http://www.antagon.net/en/antagon_register.php).
Once the game module is launched, you have to identify yourself to the server, in order to see who is online, invite players, or be invited.
