The Game
In Tritoc
two players try to occupy a game board of 9 fields each containing 9
holes. Each of the fields as well as the game itself is won
by placing 3 pieces of the same color into any one row,
coloumn or diagonal (like Tic-Tac-Toe). However, the places where to
place your pieces is determined by dice adding a luck
component to the game.
Rules
The player in turn is marked with a piece of his/her color at
his/her score table underneath the game fields. To start a move the
dice are thrown by clicking with the mouse on them. If there
is a free hole anywhere one the game board labeled with the thrown dice
number, the player can place a piece of his/her color into this
hole. This is done by clicking on the position on the board
where the piece should go to. Possible moves are indicated by colored
circles around the numbers. If no number is free the dice can be
rethrown. However, after three throws the move is over and
the next player can move.
After placing a piece onto the game board the next player can throw the dice.
There are two special numbers, the 2 and 12. If a 12 is thrown a piece of the opponent can be removed unless it is in a fully occupied field. In case of a 2 one of your own piece has to be removed.
To win a field three pieces of the same color need to be placed in any row, column or diagonal. To win the game three fields in any row, column or diagonal need to be occupied by one player. The game ends in a draw if no more empty numbers are available or none of the players could move for four times.
