Description

Yavalade is a Yavalath derivative for 3 players that can be played with the same components (hexhex board of size 5 and counters in 3 colours). It is inspired by Gute Nachbarn (which also inspired Splade for Series: Shibumi). RULES SETUP Each player has an allocated colour (White, Black, Red). The playing order is White-Black-Red. White player takes a red piece and places a white piece on top of it, placing the stack before him. Black player takes a white piece and places a black piece on top of it, placing the stack before him. Red player takes a black piece and places a red piece on top of it, placing the stack before him. HOW TO PLAY Starting with White, players take turns placing a piece of their colour on an empty space of the board until the victory condition is reached. AIM The aim of the game is to create a 5-in-a-row containing both and only both colours of your stack. Example: White wins if a 5-in-a-row containing white AND red pieces is created. NOTES If a longer row or more than one row are created, the player that placed the last piece chooses the winning row. STRATEGY As a rule of the thumb, Black must block White that must block Red that must block Black.
