From the rhinoceros and the elephant, which one is the strongest? This question has been hotly debated since the dawn of mankind. Now, you get to pick a side! Siam, a game from Didier Dhorbait published by Ferti Games, is now available on Board Game Arena.
In Siam, rhinoceros and elephants are competing to be the first to push a rock out of the board. An elephant or a rhinoceros can push a rock, but you need two animals pushing in the same direction to push two aligned rocks. An animal can push another animal too, except if the other animal is pushing in the opposite direction. And finally, an animal can push a whole line with multiple rocks and animals, if opposite forces don't cancel his effort. So you will have to be very mindful of the direction in which every animal is pushing, which is indicated by an arrow above the animal.
On your turn, you can do one of the following actions:
-
place one of your animals on the board (on one of the border cells)
-
remove one of your animals from the board (if it is on one of the border cells)
-
move one of your animals, then choose the direction it is facing
-
stay in place and change the direction one of your animals is facing without moving it
-
or push! Either with an animal already on the board, or with an animal outside of the board, pushing while entering the board.
This simple set of rules creates a lot of possibilities. You'll be really surprised to see how often a situation seems hopeless, and still, one push done the right way will change everything! Siam is a clever and elegant game, with a fun theme, and beautiful illustrations by Biboun. We like it a lot, as well as the other games from the colourful Sugoï series created by Ferti Games:
We would like to thank Ferti Games for their authorization to create an adaptation of Siam on Board Game Arena, and the designer Didier Dhorbait for helping us playtest the game!
So, from the rhinoceros and the elephant, who do you think is the strongest? 😁
Siam
Do rinoceronte e do elefante, cal é o máis forte?
Esta cuestión foi intensamente debatida desde os albores da humanidade.
Agora, tes que escoller un lado.
Siam, un xogo de Didier Dhorbait publicado por Ferti Games, xa está dispoñible no Board Game Arena.
Xoga agora!
En Siam, rinocerontes e elefantes compiten por ser os primeiros en sacar unha rocha fóra do taboleiro.
Un elefante ou un rinoceronte poden empurrar unha rocha, pero necesitas dous animais presionando na mesma dirección para empuxar dúas rochas aliñadas.
Un animal tamén pode empuxar a outro animal, excepto se o outro animal está empuxando no sentido contrario.
E por último, un animal pode empuxar toda unha liña con varias rochas e animais, se as forzas opostas non anulan o seu esforzo.
Así que terás que ter moita atención na dirección en que está a empurrar cada animal, o que está indicado cunha frecha enriba do animal.
Á súa vez, podes facer unha das seguintes accións:
- coloca un dos seus animais no taboleiro (nunha das celas de bordo)
- elimina un dos seus animais do taboleiro (se está nunha das celas de bordo)
- move un dos seus animais e logo elixe a dirección cara a ela
- Mantéñase no lugar e muda a dirección que un dos seus animais está a ter sen movelo
- ou empurra! Ou cun animal xa no taboleiro, ou cun animal fóra do taboleiro, presionando mentres entra no taboleiro.
Queremos agradecer a Ferti Games a súa autorización para crear unha adaptación de Siam no Board Game Arena e ao deseñador Didier Dhorbait por axudarnos a xogar ao xogo.
Así, a partir do rinoceronte eo elefante, quen pensas que é o máis forte?
