Brax (game)

A piece can move one or two spaces in a turn depending upon whether it matches the color of the path.

Brax was featured in The Book of Classic Board Games, written by Sid Sackson and published by Klutz Press in 1991,[2] which ranked it among the top 15 board games in history.

There are three-player, four-player, and "fox and geese" (hunt game) versions of Brax.

The board is composed of 64 square cells, laid out in eight rows and columns.

The board is further designed with lines marked along the borders between cells in one of two colors (e.g. blue and red).

In the blank sample board depicted here, each intersection point is addressed with a column (A through I) and row number (1 through 9).

Denham describes and illustrates variant game boards with non-square unit cells, including rhombuses, hexagons, and octagons.

That means the following captures are possible: On the other hand, if the Red piece had just moved from (D6) to location E6 and the Red player called "Brax" or "Jinx", the Blue player is forced to move the Blue piece that is threatened at F5.
