About Two Player Alquerque
Two Player Alquerque lets two people play the traditional capture game on one device. It is a quick local strategy match where both players can see the full board, plan jumps, and fight for control of the connected points.
How to play Two Player Alquerque
Take turns moving pieces along the board lines. Capture by jumping over an opposing piece when the landing point is empty. Keep playing until one player has captured all the opponent’s pieces or the opponent has no legal move.
Who it is for

Tips for playing Two Player Alquerque
Watch for multi-capture threats and avoid leaving isolated pieces. Try to make your opponent move into weak positions. In a local two-player match, patient blocking can be just as important as attacking.
