How it feels

A thoughtful and deliberate abstract strategy game where players methodically surround and capture their opponent's dots, feeling like a calm but sharp mental duel.

About

Kropki 8 is an abstract strategy game, played by two or more people. The game is superficially similar to Go, in that the goal is to "capture" enemy dots by surrounding them with a continuous line of one's own dots. Once an area containing enemy dots is surrounded, that area ceases to be playable.
