Strategic Leap是款基於英美跳棋的變體,由Garner Labs在1990年代開發,贏得1995年的MacWorld Best Brain Game,於2013年在蘋果推出APP。游戲采用多種遊戲模式的關卡,有類似單身貴族的單人解謎局面、雙人對弈局面等。
不同英美跳棋的走法,兵可以走正前或斜前一格;王可以循八方走一格。棋格上有各種代表法術的棋板會在棋子移到時撿拾,能發揮不同作用,如傳送、加兩條命、炸彈、不能越過、不能被其他法術指定,改方向、升王、冰凍、雷擊等、最多能收集八塊,超過則需會丟棄最新的一塊。棋格有些可以滑動、或是打碎、增加。游戲勝利方式為抵達敵方底行後升王後返回獲勝,但需要返回的棋子數隨各關卡不同而變,此外也可用全滅、困弊敵方獲勝。
這款是我最喜歡玩的跳棋變體了。
This is the most common tile. Although it can slide on a track, it cannot be removed from the game. | |
Notice how this tile has cracks in it. This kind of tile can be removed from the board using a Jackhammer Spell or added with an Add Tile Spell. | |
Pawn The Pawn moves only one direction, from the players "Home" row toward their "King" row. Once it reaches the "King" row it turns into a King, and can then move in any direction. |
|
King The King moves in any direction, otherwise it has no other advantage over the Pawn. |
|
Warrior Pawn The Warrior Pawn is just like the regular Pawn (can only move in one direction) except that it is stronger and can survive two hits on it and still remain on the board. A hit is like being jumped or landing on a bomb or being hit by a zap. So only after three of those will it be removed from the board. |
|
Warrior King The Warrior King is just like the Warrior Pawn but can move in any direction like a regular King. |
|
Flag Holders When the flag is captured, the playing piece appears like this. Flag holders are always Kings so they can move in any direction. When a warrior captures a flag, it looks like the bottom of these two. If the flag holder is still on the King row, it can still be made a Warrior (using the Warrior Spell). |
|
Gold Jump the Gold Nuggets to collect them! They can be shielded with the Anti-Jump Shield. |
|
Anchored Blue Pearl This can be jumped, but is not collected. So after jumping it it stays on the board where it can be jumped again, even within the same move, but only once in each direction. |
Anti-Jump Shield (Blue) This protects the piece from being jumped. You cannot jump any piece that has this shield on. These shields also cannot withstand the action of jumping and will disappear after a jump move. If a zap spell is cast on a playing piece with this shield, only the shield will be destroyed. Also, landing on a Bomb with this shield only destroys the shield. |
|
Flag Holder Shield (Green) When a playing pieces captures the flag, this special shield will surround the piece. The shield cannot be zapped with the Zap spell, nor will it allow the Teleport spell to teleport the piece. It does not protect the piece from being jumped. Also, this shield does not protect the piece from landing on a bomb. |
Zap If you want to remove a playing piece from the board, this is your spell! However, when used on a shielded piece, it only removes the shield. Also, when used on a Warrior piece it just inflicts one hit of damage. |
|
Promote Don't want to wait until your Pawn makes it to the King row? Then just use this spell to promote it to a King right where it is! |
|
Bomb This spell allows you to plant a bomb on any empty tile on the board. Put it where your opponent will have to land on it, hehe. |
|
Resurrect Running out of playing pieces? Use this to bring one of your pieces back to life. It only works on your Home row. |
|
Anti-Jump Shield When you cast this on a playing piece it will place an Anti-Jump Shield around the piece such that it cannot be jumped. You can cast it on either your piece or the opponent's piece. |
|
Teleport A quick way to move your pieces around the board is to use this spell. You can move any of your pieces (exceptthe Flag Holder) from anywhere to any other place. |
|
Warrior This will transform any of your pieces into a Warrior. Or if you cast it on a Warrior, it will restore it to full health. |
|
Add Gold This allows you to place a Gold Nugget on any empty tile. If the tile has a bomb planted on it, it will basically diffuse the bomb by blowing up and collecting the Gold Nugget. |
|
Add Anchored Perl This allows you to place an Anchored Pearl on any empty tile. If the tile has a bomb on it, it diffuses the bomb and still places the Anchored Pearl there. |
|
Add Tile This allows you to add a removable tile on any open track stop. |
|
Jack Hammer Don't like one of the removable tiles on the board? No problem, use this spell to remove it. It doesn't work on the regular tiles, just the cracked looking ones. |
|
Freeze This will freeze a playing piece such that it cannot move for three turns. |
