We are proud to introduce today on BGA some unusual game : Alveole.
On the contrary of all games on BGA, this game is NOT a board game. The explanation is at the end of this news.
Alveole is an abstract game for 2 players. The goal of the game is to connect all your pieces in a single group. At your turn, you must move a piece on the hexagonal grid along a direction. Your piece is moving exactly as many spaces as there are pieces on the line in which it is moving. Ex : if on a line there are 2 pieces, you can move a piece 2 spaces along this line.
If you finish your move on one of your opponent piece, you capture it BUT you can never jump above any opponent piece. And that's it!
Now, where does this game come from?
At the beginning, there was an abstract board game : Lines of action, created by Claude Soucie. Its mechanims were fun, so it inspired a video game studio (Motion Twin) to create a game with similar mechanisms based on an hexagonal grid named Grapiz (or Amonite). This game had a lot of success on some games portal.
Recently, the developer of Hive BGA adaptation (Cédric Leclinche) asked Motion Twin and BGA if it would be possible to have this game online. As this is a very good strategy game, we found that it would be useless to say no, so we said yes and here it is! Unfortunately for legal reasons we can have the game but not its name, so we chose to name it Alveole!
BGA would like to thank Cédric Leclinche for having this idea and for developing this game using BGA Studio and Motion Twin for their authorization to have this game here.
Enjoy!
Alveole
Tværtimod af alle spil på BGA er dette spil ikke et brætspil. Forklaringen er i slutningen af denne nyhed.
Alveole er en abstrakt spil for 2 spillere. Målet med spillet er at forbinde alle dine brikker i en enkelt gruppe. På din tur, skal du flytte en brik på det sekskantede nettet langs en retning. Din brik er bevægelige, præcis som mange rum der er stykker på den linje, hvor det er bevægelige. Ex: Hvis på en linje er der 2 stykker, kan du flytte en brik 2 rum langs denne linje.
Hvis du er færdig med din flytning på en af din modstander brik, du fange det, men du kan aldrig hoppe over nogen modstander brik. Og det er det!
Nu, hvor kommer dette spil kommer fra?
I begyndelsen, var der en abstrakt brætspil: indsatsområder, lavet af Claude Soucie. Dens mechanims var sjov, så det inspirerede en video game studio (Motion Twin) at skabe et spil med lignende mekanismer baseret på en sekskantet gitter opkaldt Grapiz (eller Amonite). Dette spil havde stor succes på nogle spil portal.
For nylig, udvikleren af Hive BGA tilpasning (Cédric Leclinche) spurgte Motion Twin og BGA hvis det ville være muligt at have dette spil online. Da dette er en meget god strategispil, fandt vi, at det ville være nytteløst at sige nej, så vi sagde ja og det er her! Desværre af juridiske grunde har vi spillet, men ikke dens navn, så vi valgte at navngive det Alveole!
BGA gerne takke Cédric Leclinche for at have denne idé og til at udvikle dette spil ved hjælp af BGA Studio og Motion Twin om deres tilladelse til at have dette spil her.
Nyd!
