Description

Mapple is a unique abstract board game for two players, and you can play it with pocket change.

The rules and the board are all contained in the same one-page PDF file. Print it and enjoy it. And if you like this game, please make a donation to Cheapass Games, and keep checking back constantly for new and wonderful stuff!

Each player uses eleven coins: One quarter, two dimes, three nickels, and five pennies. One player is “heads” and the other is “tails.” Players take turns placing coins in empty areas. When you play a coin, it flips over enemy coins in neighboring areas, if those coins are of lesser value. Areas that touch only on the diagonal are not considered connected. The game ends when both players are out of coins. Each area is worth one point. You will play twice, with each player starting once.
