PlusMinus

The main principle of this game is a generally known law of magnetism, saying that charged particles of the same signs repel each other and attract the opposite, in other words: plus attracts minus, minus attracts plus, plus repels plus and minus repels minus. Players, using this principle, perform actions with their pawns, aiming to place five of them in a row. The first to achieve this goal wins the game.

Each player has 45 two-sided pawns with a plus sign and a minus on the other side.

A player in his/her turn must perform:

• place his pawn from the pool on the board

and (if possible)

• make one additional action out of the following:
  1. repelling the pawn on the board
  2. attracting the pawn on the board

and (if the additional action gives such an effect)

• a pawn's reaction after an additional action (or a sequence of pawns' reactions)
