Diaballik
Appearance
Diaballik is an abstract game designed by Philippe Lefrançois. It attempts to simulate a sport whereby 2 teams are simultaneously trying to get their ball to the opposite teams starting goal line. The board depicts a 7x7 grid.
Rules
The Diaballik's rules are simple and are explained here [1]. Each opponent has a team composed of 7 players, one of those having a ball. There is no mechanism of catch of players, so there are always 14 players in the game.
There are two initial initializations. The classic one where all players are in their team side. In the variant initialisation, two players without the ball are located in the adverse side.
