Rules

Rules of the Virus Game

1. The game is played between two players on an empty 8x8 board. One player plays with Blue viruses and the other with Red.

2. Blue makes the first move, after which Red and Blue alternate.

3. Each move consists of three separate consecutive moves. We will call them "steps".

4. A step can only be made on accessible cell that is empty or contains enemies virus.

   • Step on empty cell called "reproduction" and produces a new virus.
   • Step on enemy virus called "killing" and it replaces enemies virus with "base" of your color.

5. Bases could be in two states: active and inactive.

   • A base is considered to be active if it is in contact (vertically, horizontally or diagonally) with another active base or virus of your color.

6. You can only make steps at cells that are in contact with your active bases or viruses.

7. You lose the game if you have no valid moves.
