Hey I’ve been working on this abstract strategy board game on and off for more than 10 years. I’ve picked up the project again trying to get a digital version up and running in the browser that is playable.
It’s still under development, but you can check out the repository here: https://github.com/GreenAnts/Amalgam_Webgame/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file. (There are links on the main page for rules, and etc)
Rulebook: https://github.com/GreenAnts/Amalgam_Webgame/tree/main/assets/Rulebook
Video tutorial: https://youtu.be/LZD5h4siXVM
Play against a (dumb) bot/AI: https://greenants.github.io/Amalgam_Webgame/ (this is the under development game, and a has a lot of placeholder text - but once you enter the bot game, it should actually work.
The game is a bit niche, and I’m assuming probably won’t fit the bill for most people in this instance, but I’m hoping someone might be interested and help us grow this project. The game is open source and creative commons licensed, so I’m hoping the game will become community created.
Anyways, if you check it out, I’d greatly appreciate it!
The rules page on the main website is placeholder text - for the actual rules you need to watch the video or read the rules documents linked above. Planning to set up the main website rules page with more of a “tutorial” walkthrough type of experience, or animated gifs - just haven’t gotten to it yet.
