Dominate - Corné van Moorsel’s New Game
Dutch designer Corné van Moorsel has released a new game on Mastermoves, his online game site.
In Dominate, you try to capture the opponent’s flags turn by turn by moving all of your flags from one area to an adjacent friendly area or an opponent’s area occupid by fewer flags. Each time you capture an opponent’s flag, you gain a prisoner; release the prisoner, and a group of your flags can move into an empty territory. The game ends when no one can move, and the winner is the player with the flags on the map.
I’ve played a few half games since Dominate debuted on Jan. 19, and it fits the style of many van Moorsel designs: simple rules, random set-up, no luck, and room for lots of exploration. Start a game with Rhombus if you want to give it a try!
