Table feel

Amoeba has a high level of direct confrontation and strategic depth, with frequent interaction among players. However, it does not emphasize cooperation as much.

Replay value

Amoeba offers a high level of variability with its gameboard and expansions, providing fresh experiences each time. The strategic depth allows players to continuously improve their strategies, and the game adapts well to different player counts. While it may take some time to learn, the depth it offers makes it worth the effort. Overall, Amoeba has a strong replayability score of 8.1.

Luck profile

Amoeba has a moderate influence of luck. Random elements have a notable but not exclusive impact on the game outcome. While players have some ability to mitigate randomness through strategic decisions, luck still plays a significant role in the game. Overall, Amoeba strikes a balanced mix of luck and strategy.

Overview

Board & Pieces Each player has ten standard pieces and one Kernel piece on a hex board. Movements Players take turns to move a piece of their own color. No pass is allowed. Pieces move as a single piece or stacked multiple pieces (=stacks). Stacks are controlled by the player who plays the color on the top of them. Stacks move all together or split into single pieces as they move. Moves are restricted to directly straight, no change of directions in the same move allowed. Kernels move exactly as other pieces. Kernels do not have to be on the top of stacks. Goal The game is won by the player who first controls the stack with the enemy Kernel or who takes all the legitimate moves away from the other player.
