Ishido - a challenging board game

WHAT YOU SEE

The game board consists of 12 x 8 fields. When the game starts six of them are already occuied - four in the corners and two in the midst. In the lower left you see your score, "count" is the number of still invisible pieces waiting to be placed, and next is the next piece to place on the board. The "New" button starts a new game.

GOAL

Put all pieces on the board and get as many points as possible..

THE PIECES

The pieces have different shapes and fill patterns. There are six shapes and six patterns. Every shape/pattern combination appears twice. So we have 6x6x2 = 72 pieces.

HOW TO PLACE A PIECE

To place the next piece on a field simply tap on the field with your stylus.

You may place a piece under the following conditions:

• The destination field has to be empty.
• At least one adjacent field must already have a piece.
• When only one adjacent field has a piece on it then the old and new peace must either have the same shape or the same pattern - or both. This is worth 1 point.
• When two adjacent fields have a piece on it then one of them must have the same shape, and the other the same pattern as the new piece. This is worth 2 points.
• When three adjacent fields have a piece on it then two of them must have the same shape, and the other the same pattern as the new piece - or the other way round. This is worth 10 points.
• When all four adjacent fields have a piece on it then two of them must have the same shape, and the other two the same pattern as the new piece. This is worth 100 points.
