Poke

Poke, a strategic two-player board game. Placing a coin pushes the others around it one space outward, yours included. First player to get three big coins in a row, wins.

Built for mobile browsers. Also works on desktop and tablets (ipads included). It can be installed on your home screen.

Simple rules:

• Each player starts with eight small coins and a 6x6 board.
• Placing a coin pushes all others around it one space outward, yours included.
• A coin pushed off the edge goes back to its owner's pool.
• Small coins cannot push big coins. Big coins push anything. A push is blocked when the space behind is taken, and nothing chains.
• Line up three of your own coins with at least one small coin among them and they promote: back into your pool as big coins.
• Three big coins in a row ends the game.
• Getting all eight big coins onto the board at once also wins.
• Turns run on a 60-second timer, and letting it expire forfeits the match. Closing the tab forfeits it too.
