Splut! · 2009 · (Web published)
If you like chess but wish it had chaos, try Splut! - a tiny abstract game where you don’t attack pieces directly… you launch rocks across the board to take out your opponent’s wizard.
3 pieces. 4 rocks. Endless tactics.
And the best part? You can print and play it for free.
Splut! is an abstract strategy boardgame. It has a fantasy theme and the looks of a chessgame.
2 To 4 players compete in an arena where they each control a team consisting of one large Troll and one Dwarf, led by a Sorcerer as coach.
During your turn you have three moves to make with your pawns. Try to get your Troll to a Rock (four Rocks are provided in the arena) and let him throw it onto an opposing Sorcerer. This will eliminate that team.
