About Game of the Amazons

The Game of the Amazons is a board game similar to go and chess invented by Walter Zamkauskas of Argentina in 1988.

Two players move Amazons on a board. The Amazons can move any number of squares in any direction, like queens in chess. After moving, Amazons must shoot an arrow (in this implementation, the second player throws spears). The arrow can also move in any direction. Amazons and arrows cannot move across squares that are already occupied by another Amazon or arrow/spear. The last player able to make a legal move wins. Equivalently, the first player unable to make a legal move loses.

The standard initial configuration is a 10x10 board, but the game can be set up with any starting configuration. Players can control any number of Amazons and the board can be of any size.
