Hello All,
This is an older game that I posted om QB64 forum years ago
9tka is a 2 to 4 player board game which has 9 cells. Each cell has 9 spaces in it. The object of the game is to be the player who dominates the most cells. At the start of the game each player in turn places red blocker piece in each cell until each cell is filled with one red blocker in each cell. Blocker pieces can not be placed directly on the outer spaces inside the playing area. Next each player alternates placing one of their pieces on the outside border area until all spaces are filled, except for the corners. Next players takes turns sliding one of their pieces from outside the board, the border area, and slides it into the playing area until it is stopped by another piece or red blocker until all pieces are slid into the board that can be moved. The player who has the most of their pieces in a cell wins that cell. There may be a tie for cell which there is no winner of that cell. The player who wins the most number of cells is the winner.
This game uses keyboard inputs.
