QiaFang

QiaFang is a strategic board game that originated from Chinese folk culture. It likes the Chinese tranditional game, Go. however, it's simpler than Go. There are two phases in QiaFang game: deploy Phase and move Phase. There are three actions can be taken by player: placing, moving, capturing. In Deploy phase, each player can place 15 pieces on the board(7*7 size) in alternative turns. You should place pieces in a way to construct as many Squares as possible, and prevent the opponent from constructing his Squares. When placing is over. you can capture the pieces of the opponent freely with the number of pieces equal with the number of your squares. Similar actions also performed by the opponent. In Move phase, you can move your pieces to construct new squares. When new squares constructed, you can immediately and freely capture some pieces of the opponent. the number principle keeps the same as the capturing in Place phase. .

Once the number of living pieces owned by one player got less than 4, he failed with the game.
