Description
Latrones or latrunculi - a free board game strategy of Ancient Rome. The full name is Ludus latrunculorum (Latin “the game of brigands”). It is considered as an ancestor of checkers and pettys. The game’s purpose is to create a situation when the opponent can’t move (all his pieces are captured or stand under the lock). The rules of the game are simple: pieces go in four sides, but not diagonally. If the piece is surrounded by 2 opposite sides, it is captured and removed from the board. If the main figure of the enemy "Eagle" has no moves - you have won! Board size 8x12.

I'd like to be able to review my moves and the AI moves at the end of a game, and also to study the game board/final positions. A button to dismiss or hide the game-over screen would be good. A score table with stats (win/lose count; number of moves; access to each game's list of moves) would be great.

Good app to introduce people to the game. The AI is not the most intelligent. I can chase the eagle down and win in the first turns every game, or if I play the game destroying pieces then keep after the eagle I always win. Actually, I have never lost and have no experience with the game. I get tired at some point and just pin the eagle. Fun, but needs some optimization work for a more difficult AI.

Great version of this game really enjoy playing it. Comes with decent A.I. too! Would be great to see the final board at the end before the win/lose message blocks sight of it, or a results/points table. Would also enjoy a tap to select/deselect option and maybe even an undo when testing strategy.
