Amakta

Amakta is a simultaneous turn based strategy board game for two players. It transforms a minimalistic ruleset into astonishing strategic depth.

Start by placing your first stone on your base tile, excert influence on surrounding tiles, expand your territory, capture your opponent's stones, disrupt their defences and finally conquer their base tile.

Both players perform their turns at the same time. Simultaneity elevates the weight each decision carries, leads to less waiting for your opponent and ensures true equality between the player colors.
