Lyngk
LYNGK is a two-player abstract strategy game by Kris Burm. Little Golem plays
the Stack6 variant.
Setup
The board is filled with a random mix of colored stones. The colors are white, black, red, blue, green, and gray. Gray is neutral and cannot be claimed.
White moves first.
Color claims
During the game, each player may claim up to two non-gray colors. A color can be claimed by only one player.
A color claim is made together with a move or pass. Once you claim a color, stacks topped by that color are yours.
Movement
On a turn, move one stack in a straight line along the board lines to the first occupied stack in that direction. Empty spaces may be crossed; occupied stacks may not be jumped.
You may move:
- a stack topped by one of your claimed colors
- a stack topped by an unclaimed non-gray color
The moving stack is placed on top of the destination stack.
A combined stack may not contain the same non-gray color twice. Gray stones may repeat. On Little Golem, a stack may contain at most six stones.
If the moving stack is neutral, it may not be moved onto a taller stack.
Passing is allowed only when no legal move is available.
Winning and scoring
In Stack6, a player wins immediately by creating a stack of six stones topped
by one of their claimed colors.
Once four colors have been claimed and neither player has a legal move, the game is scored by stacks topped by claimed colors. Taller stacks are worth more:
| Height | Points |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 10 |
| 3 | 100 |
| 4 | 1000 |
| 5 | 10000 |
The higher score wins. Equal scores are a draw.
