BOARD GAME StackAndConquer
Version: 0.10.0 Web: https://github.com/ElTh0r0/ stackandconquer
StackAndConquer is a challenging tower conquest game that’s inspired by the board game Mixtou (https://spielstein.com/games/ mixtour).Your objective is to build a stack of stones with at least five stones and a stone with the players colour on top.
Ubuntu users can grab the game from its PPA with: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elthoro/ stackandconquer
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install stackandconquer
Similarly, the project uses the OpenSUSE Build Service to produce builds for distros such as Debian, Fedora and OpenSUSE. You can follow the simple instruction of its website to add the repository for your favourite distro, before pulling in the game. For a quicker and easier installation, you can grab the game’s AppImage file instead.
The game is a standard two-player affair, one of which can be the computer. The game supports two levels of computer opponents. The DummyCPU player is the novice AI player, while the AdvancedCPU is a very tough opponent.
By default the game allows Player 1, which is you, to make the first move. However, you can spice things up by selecting the option to randomise the start player. Also, by default you only need one tower to win the game, though this again can be increased from within the settings menu.
StackAndConquer is a pretty simple logic-based game, and it doesn’t take long to comprehend the logic behind it. You click the board to place a piece with the objective to build a stack at least five pieces high, with your piece on the top. Players can also choose to move one or more pieces from a stack, either orthogonally or diagonally. Pieces are taken from the top of a stack, but can be the player’s own or the opponents. You can follow the built-in tutorial to better comprehend the rules of the game.
