Quantum Leap

Quantum Leap is a board game for 2 players than can be played on a hexagonal grid of any shape and size. The official rulebook uses a hexagonal board of 5 hexes per side, 30 white stones and 31 black stones, as it is the recommended configuration for beginners.

In Quantum Leap, each player’s stones start dispersed on the board. Your goal is to be the last player making a valid move. Stones can only move by capturing enemy stones, leaping in a special fashion. Stones get their leaping potential from the number of friendly stones that immediately surround them.

The rulebook includes a variant for more than 2 players.

Quantum Leap is the dark brother of Adaptoid.

Special thanks to Cameron Browne for the game name.

Note:

The latest version by the designer uses 31 black stones and no empty space at the start, and removes the swap option for the second player. This makes it more elegant and balanced.

Update:

Nestorgames has released a 'balls edition' that includes 61 balls in 2 colours (30 white and 31 black) and 61 rings. It replaces the pie rule for an additional ball for the second player.
