User guide
Gameplay
attaxx is a simple board game for two players. it is played on a board with 7x7 fields.
When the game starts, each player has two stones, which are placed in the corners of the board. the goal of the game is to occupy more fields of the board than the opponent.
There are two kinds of moves: you can move one of your stones onto an adjacent free field. in this case, the stone is not moved, but it "splits", so both fields are now occupied by your stones.
Or you can jump over one field onto a free field. in this case, the stone doesn't split, it is actually moved. the stones of the opponent on the destination field's neighbor fields become your stones (that seems to be where the names infection/virus come from).
If and only if you can't make any of these moves, you may pass. gbattaxx does this automagically.
The game usually ends when all fields of the board are occupied, but it may end earlier, when one of the players has lost all his stones.
