About This Game

Divide and Conquer is an abstract strategy board game. As the Commander of a battalion of troops, you plan out and execute troop movements to secure objective regions around the game board. Your opponent’s competing troops will cause you to tangle and engage in the conflict taking on causalities and slowing your pace to victory. You must anticipate the other players’ strategies by moving with precision and seizing the initiative. Sometimes your position is defensive to block an opponent from an objective and other times you are invading occupied regions to weaken the offensive of another player.

The game mechanics are based on mathematics and game theory, which provides an additional opponent. If you plan optimally, you will not only defeat the other players, but you will also solve the game with a minimal number of movements.

+ I love almost every board game implementation + the rules are simple, i like the concept - the AI is too easy :( then again, if the AI (or some of them) were to play optimally (and peacefully) then winning would simply be a matter of who has the initiative in turn 16 (i think) - the game itself seems too easy, after the first solo play you make a plan and there is no real reason to adapt anymore - i just dont see the replayability: ? maybe if some rule variants are implemented? ? maybe if you get an extra turn when you kill another's stack (max 1 per turn)? I will gladly change my vote to positive in case of a relevant update!
