Isolation (board game)

Isolation is a two-player abstract strategy board game. It is played on a 7x7 board which is initially filled with squares, except at the starting positions of the pieces. Both players have one piece; it is in the middle position of the row closest to his/her side of the board.



A move consists of two subsequent actions:
 * 1) Moving one's piece to a neighboring (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) position that contains a square but not the opponent's piece
 * 2) Removing any square with no piece on it, similar to the arrow effect in Game of the Amazons.

The player who cannot make any move loses the game.
