Ordo

Zielgerichtetes Miteinander

Ordo is one of the most attractive games in the range of Gerhards, dark corner props, ideally integrated into the board, a massive wooden board of 8x10 squares and oval markers in two colors that remind one of Go. The aim of the game for each player is to reach the opposing base line with a minimum of one marker. Starting with the initial setup a marker moves forward straight or diagonally or sideways, never back and never over other pieces. You always choose between a single move and an Ordo move. Each move must follow the group rule: At the end of a move all markers of a player must be connected to each other, straight or diagonally. A marker can move over squares that are not connected to the group, but at the end the connection must be established. In a single move you move one marker any distance. If it reaches an opposing marker this piece is defeated and taken off. If this separates a group, the smaller part of the group is taken off the board, too. When both parts of the group have the same size, the attacking player decides which one is taken off. In an Ordo move you move two or more orthogonally connected markers any distance; they cannot be defeated. After a sideways move you always must do a so called continuity move, which must be done forwards, but not with the same markers that you moved sideways. If you reach the base line with one marker or if you defeat the last marker of your opponent, you win!

Ordo is a find for fans of abstract games and fans of beautiful games, elegant, simple but not easy, challenging, a wonderful game for two!
