Rules

Amazons invented in 1988 by Walter Zamkauskas of Argentina and is a trademark of Ediciones de Mente.

Amazons played on a 10 x 10 board. The two players, white and black are each given four amazons in predefined locations:

  • a4, d1, g1 and k4,
  • a7, d10, g10 and k7.
Each move contains two mandatory parts: The player's amazon moves like a chess queen - any number of squares in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line. Once it gets to its final position, the amazon throws an arrow that also moves like a chess queen. The arrow permanently blocks the board square it lands in. Both the amazon and the arrow it throws must move along a line that is not obstructed by another amazon or an arrow.

There are no captures and no draws in Amazons!

The last player able to complete a move wins the game

Quote: You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment they supress and restrain and check the free play of your powers. That's the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world.
