Tesseract

This game has a 16x16 game board, but the playing pieces move on the 15x15 intersections.

The second and third row on each side of the board are the player's home sections, the space between is neutral. Each player has 6 "normal" playing pieces (1 tesseract, 1 cylinder, 1 pyramid, 1 rectangle, 2 stars), 2 large slide bars, 5 small slide bars and 2 crosses.

At the start, each player places the Tesseract, the pyramid, one star and 2 small slide bars in his section. Then the 2 crosses are placed in the neutral zone. These crosses cannot be moved and remain at their position until the end of the game. The remaining pieces: the cylinder, the rectangle, one star and 5 slide bars form the reserves.

Each turn, players now move their pieces over the board or place a piece from their reserves everywhere on the board. Object of the game is to either capture the opposing tesseract or capture all other "normal" pieces of the opponent.

The movements of the playing pieces different for every type. Interesting, that slide bars can capture normal pieces, but cannot be captured themselves.
