ABSTRACT
The arrows pierce the layers and represent lines of obvious directions in various diagonal planes. The arrow “burns out” the square on which it lands, often denoted by placing a black go stone there. Burned out squares are unplayable for the rest of the game. Neither Amazons nor arrows may jump over other Amazons or over burned out squares. Clobber begins with all squares on a rectangular board occupied according to their colors on a checkerboard: each white square occupied by a white duke, and each black square by a black duke. Capturing occurs as in chess, one move onto the square occupied by the opponent’s duke, which is then removed from the board. Konane is the classic board game of ancient Hawaii. Like Clobber, the game begins with all squares occupied: white stones on all the white squares and black stones on all the black squares.
