ESKARP — Mountain Strategy

New with ESKARP Complete: Sap, Front and Items, three optional modes with meteorites and hidden items. The classic game stays a pure strategy duel with no luck.

A mountain board that crumbles beneath your feet. Every move removes a tile: the ground sinks, paths close, and whoever cannot move loses.

ESKARP is an abstract strategy game for two players, easy to learn and deep to master. The classic game has no luck: only your choices.

THE RULES IN ONE MINUTE • A 7 × 7 board of stacks of 1 to 3 tiles: Plain, Hill, Summit. • Your stones move in a straight line as many squares as the height of their stack. • Every move removes a tile: an empty stack becomes a hole. • Capture a stone by landing on it from higher ground. • Whoever cannot move loses.

NEW: THREE OPTIONAL MODES With ESKARP Complete, turn them on in New game, alone or together, against the AI, with a friend on one device, or AI against AI. With all three off, it is the classic game, with no luck. • Sap: after a move, if you choose, a meteorite removes a tile next to where you landed, instead of the tile you left. • Front: from move 20, the edge of the board collapses, ring by ring. • Items: six hidden items (Pickaxe, Charge, Avalanche, Cairn, Bridge, Piton). Stop a stone on one to take it, then use it instead of moving. These experimental modes stay out of the daily board, leaderboards, achievements and game review. Against the AI, the advantage bar, hint and ideal move work in them too.

PLAY YOUR WAY • Against the AI, on three levels: Easy and Medium, plus Hard with ESKARP Complete. • Two players on one device, with the pie rule for a fair start. • Online with Game Center: invite a friend, play a rematch, climb the leaderboards and unlock achievements. • AI against AI, to watch and learn. • The daily board: a new board every day, the same for everyone. • Free mode: play any board from its code, or draw one at random; with ESKARP Complete, create your own boards and keep them in My boards.

GET BETTER • An interactive tutorial and an illustrated rulebook. • Game review (classic game), with ESKARP Complete: every move analysed by the engine, your accuracy, your best moves and your mistakes, with the move you should have played. • Help on demand: threats; against the AI, modes included, the advantage bar and, with ESKARP Complete, hint and ideal move with their percentages. • A profile with your progress and achievements, plus detailed statistics with ESKARP Complete.

THREE WORLDS Mountain pass, Golden terraces or Mountain hut: choose your scenery and the interface takes on its colours.
