Lines of Fixation

Lines of Fixation is an abstract strategy game for 2players, inspired by Lines of Action (LoA). As same as LoA, it also has several game pieces start from a distance, the object to unite own pieces and some move constraints, but unlike LoA, it uses a hexagonal board and stacking mechanics.

GAMEPLAY (overview)
Setup each 9 of 2-height stacks as the diagram above. Light color player goes first, alternate turns taking one move with a stack their control (That is, a stack with your color at the top).

Stacks move a straight line the distance exactly its height, dropping bottom disks exactly one by one for each hex. Dropped disks may capture opponent's stacks and/or merge with own stacks. If your mono-color stack of 3- or more height can make capture, you must do so.

And there are important restrictions; if you do not have the highest stack on a straight line, your stacks on the line cannot make any move along the line. And if both of you and your opponent have the highest stacks of same height on a line, your stacks on the line can move and merge but cannot capture.

The object is to make all stacks you control adjacent each other as a group. You can also win by having two bi-color stacks of 6-height.
