Stranded

An abstract connection game has players move along a triangulated path and remove a link after every move. Jumping over links enables mobility, but shrinking options eventually strands the player who can no longer move.

Read the full game description

Stranded is a two-player abstract game in which players move their pawn around a large triangulated pathway. Each space in the path has a linking piece and one link is taken away after you move. You can jump any number of places, but only over links. You cannot end your move in a direct linked line to your opponent (which also makes leapfrogging impossible). As the links are removed, your options reduce and the player who cannot move first loses.
