From the rhinoceros and the elephant, which one is the strongest? This question has been hotly debated since the dawn of mankind. Now, you get to pick a side! Siam, a game from Didier Dhorbait published by Ferti Games, is now available on Board Game Arena.
In Siam, rhinoceros and elephants are competing to be the first to push a rock out of the board. An elephant or a rhinoceros can push a rock, but you need two animals pushing in the same direction to push two aligned rocks. An animal can push another animal too, except if the other animal is pushing in the opposite direction. And finally, an animal can push a whole line with multiple rocks and animals, if opposite forces don't cancel his effort. So you will have to be very mindful of the direction in which every animal is pushing, which is indicated by an arrow above the animal.
On your turn, you can do one of the following actions:
-
place one of your animals on the board (on one of the border cells)
-
remove one of your animals from the board (if it is on one of the border cells)
-
move one of your animals, then choose the direction it is facing
-
stay in place and change the direction one of your animals is facing without moving it
-
or push! Either with an animal already on the board, or with an animal outside of the board, pushing while entering the board.
This simple set of rules creates a lot of possibilities. You'll be really surprised to see how often a situation seems hopeless, and still, one push done the right way will change everything! Siam is a clever and elegant game, with a fun theme, and beautiful illustrations by Biboun. We like it a lot, as well as the other games from the colourful Sugoï series created by Ferti Games:
We would like to thank Ferti Games for their authorization to create an adaptation of Siam on Board Game Arena, and the designer Didier Dhorbait for helping us playtest the game!
So, from the rhinoceros and the elephant, who do you think is the strongest? 😁
Siam
Dari badak dan gajah, mana yang terkuat?
Pertanyaan ini telah diperdebatkan dengan hangat sejak awal umat manusia.
Sekarang, Anda harus memilih sisi!
Siam, permainan dari Didier Dhorbait yang diterbitkan oleh Ferti Games, sekarang tersedia di Board Game Arena.
Mainkan sekarang!
Di Siam, badak dan gajah bersaing untuk menjadi yang pertama mendorong batu keluar dari papan.
Seekor gajah atau badak dapat mendorong batu, tetapi Anda membutuhkan dua hewan yang mendorong ke arah yang sama untuk mendorong dua batu yang sejajar.
Seekor hewan dapat mendorong hewan lain juga, kecuali jika hewan lain mendorong ke arah yang berlawanan.
Dan akhirnya, seekor binatang dapat mendorong seluruh garis dengan banyak batu dan binatang, jika kekuatan berlawanan tidak membatalkan usahanya.
Jadi Anda harus sangat memperhatikan arah di mana setiap hewan mendorong, yang ditunjukkan oleh panah di atas hewan.
Pada gilirannya, Anda dapat melakukan salah satu tindakan berikut:
- letakkan salah satu hewan Anda di papan (di salah satu sel perbatasan)
- singkirkan salah satu hewan Anda dari papan (jika ada di salah satu sel perbatasan)
- Pindahkan salah satu hewan Anda, lalu pilih arah yang dihadapinya
- tetap di tempat dan ubah arah yang dihadapi salah satu hewan Anda tanpa memindahkannya
- atau dorong! Baik dengan hewan yang sudah ada di papan, atau dengan hewan di luar papan, mendorong saat memasuki papan.
Kami ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Ferti Games atas otorisasi mereka untuk membuat adaptasi Siam di Board Game Arena, dan desainer Didier Dhorbait karena membantu kami bermain game!
Jadi, dari badak dan gajah, menurut Anda siapa yang terkuat?
