{"product_id":"creeper","title":"Creeper","description":"\u003cp\u003eSelection #4 of The Games Collection by Pin International.\n\nCreeper is an abstract strategy game which belongs in the same family as Hex\/Twixt. That is, two players attempt to link two sides of the board with a chain of pieces.\n\nPlayers: 2 only. One plays black, the other white.\nThe Bits:\n\n     16 pawns, 8 black and 8 white.\n     32 \"Othello\" disks, i.e. black one side and white on the other.\n     A board made up of a 6×6 square grid of octagons. \n\n\nThe game: Although the spaces on the board are octagonal, the main playing pieces ( the pawns ) are placed and played in the squares that are formed where the corners of the octagons meet.\nOn his\/her turn, the player may move one of their 8 pawns.\nA move may consist of leaping diagonally over an octagon, or a simple move between one octagon and the next in a straight line, or finally a pawn may capture an opponents` pawn by jumping over it a la checkers\/draughts.\n\nIn the first case, if a pawn makes the diagonal jump one of two actions may take place: if the octagon is empty, one of the disks is played inside it, with the players` colour uppermost. Alternatively, if the octagon is occupied by an opponents` disk, this disk is flipped over to show the opposite side (and therefore colour). \nThe winner is the first player to link two specific diagonally opposed corners ( black must link top left to bottom right and white top right to bottom left), with a continuous chain of their colour disks. Only orthogonal links count, not diagonal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.88 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Graham Lipscomb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1995\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Graham's Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51927291330776,"sku":"SB-EC7120803971-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/to4v6l7i38yig68xn8pkmv8teqos.jpg?v=1785467500","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/creeper","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
