Alta is a connection game played on a diamond-shaped board. An unusual twist of the game is that players place diagonal lines, called "switches," in the squares, which can be slanted either forward or backward. A player can either put a new switch on the board or "toggle" the direction of one of his switches. The object of the game is to connect two "nodes" at opposite corners of the board.
