Description
Ludus Latrunculorum is a strategy board game practiced by the ancient Romans, we found some descriptions in Latin literature. It can be considered an ancestor of chess or checkers, rules are lost and have been imagined based on information found. The game consists of a king and pawns. Applied rules: Movement: king and pawns move horizontally and vertically without being able to jump over other pieces. Conditions of victory: You win by capturing all the opponent's pieces or by blocking the opponent's king on 4 sides. Conditions of capture, a pawn is captured if it is surrounded by 2 opposite sides by opponent, if the pawn is in the corner, can be captured by occupying the 2 sides free.

Best available Should have option to change color of board and/or pieces. Also, really needs option to play second with computer
★★★★★
Not bad, inaccurate on rules One rule that is not implemented: The "king" can move in any "orthogonal" direction (up, down, left, right, NOT diagonally), but unlike the pawns, it should be able to move ONLY by one square. On the plus side, it does have the option for a 8x12 board, which was one of the variations of the game back in antiquity. Not sure about the earlier comment that it is slow to think. Seems pretty fast on my end.
★★★★★
For what it's meant to be its great. There are a few things it could be better at, like a medium and very hard AI level, the ability to remember your settings and not locking up when you alt tab, but it IS free, and it works well enough.
★★☆☆☆
it's poor from 2012 and after that nothing No updates At the start there wasn't even a manu But at least there's 1 Ludus game in the play store
