Abak Evolution Backgammon

Abak Evolution is a variant of the traditional Backgammon game that includes different classes of checkers in the game, with special features each. These features are the ability to go backward, trapping a checker instead of hitting it, limited movement (an analogy of wounded soldiers), and extra strength (or an analogy for it).

All of the backgammon rules are present in Abak Evolution, with 3 general additions.
• A point or column can only stack five checkers (this is known as the Egyptian rule on standard backgammon, but is not often used in the classic version).
• The checkers in a column must be moved in order from top to bottom.
• There are 6 classes of checkers:
◦ General: It can move backward.
◦ Druid: It immobilizes an opponent, instead of hit it.
◦ Guards (Each team has two): It can block the column being alone in it.
◦ Regular (Pawn, each team has 9): No difference with backgammon.
◦ Wounded
▪ Odd: It can only move if the die number is 1,3,5. Odd numbers.
▪ Even: It can only move if the die number is 2,4,6. Even numbers.

Each of these classes has its own set of rules, and all rules must be fulfilled in order to make a legal move.

Abak Evolution is a non-profit project. The game is fully free. No purchases inside, no ads.
