This P&P game consisted a mixture of checkers and tic tac toe mechanics. Having the opportunity to test it with multiple people I grasped a good understanding of the game and its perks/flaws. First the layout of the game, as you can see in image 1 the board, pieces, and rules. The pieces that take part in the game are Queens and Guards, each side having one Queen and 6 Guards. The overall objective is for the player that occupies the centre with the Queen along with all six Guards circling it wins the game. At first I thought this game reminded me of Chinese checkers, which in a way it does still because of the board layout and player movement. After testing it I see that it is more about protecting and taking territory to get your Queen to the center. Below you can see my recored notes I have taken after testing "Agon" out.
Core Mechanic: Trapping enemy Guards
Space of the Game: The board is a hexagon with multiple spaces around the center point. The boundaries of the game end on the sides of the hexagon you may not play off the board.
