Description:
ZhiZhu! - The Spider™ is the new, modern, and more challenging iteration of the ancient and classical game known as "Nine Men's Morris."
Game Content:
1 Spiderweb game board, 9 White Spiders, and 9 Black Spiders.
START: Player A begins with 9 White Spiders, Player B with 9 Black Spiders, and the board starts empty.
GOAL: The objective is to capture your opponent's Spiders that have been placed on the board.
How Do You Capture Your Opponent's Spiders?
Capture your opponent's Spiders by forming aligned chains:
SMALL CHAIN: Align 3 SPIDERS on any one of the 8 STRAIGHT LINES.
BIG CHAIN: Align 5 SPIDERS on any one of the 3 CIRCLES.
PLAYING THE GAME: The game progresses through TWO PHASES:
PHASE 1 – Spider Placement:
Taking turns, each player places their 9 Spiders, one at a time, onto any of the 24 vacant locations on the Spiderweb.
Chains (Small or Big) can be formed during this phase, allowing you to capture 1 or 2 of your opponent's Spiders accordingly.
PHASE 2 – Sliding Movement:
After all Spiders are placed, players take turns sliding one Spider to an adjacent empty spot on the Spiderweb (Left, Right, Up, or Down from its current position).
Capturing Pieces:
When a player forms a SMALL Chain (3 aligned Spiders), they immediately CAPTURE (i.e., REMOVE) ONE of their opponent's Spiders from the board.
When a player forms a BIG Chain (5 aligned Spiders), they immediately CAPTURE (i.e., REMOVE) TWO of their opponent's Spiders from the board.
IMPORTANT RULES:
A player CANNOT capture Spiders that are already part of an existing Small or Big Chain, unless there are no other loose Spiders available to capture.
A player CANNOT capture Spiders by re-forming a chain using the exact same Spider(s) in the exact same locations.
A chain is considered NEW and valid for capture only if at least one Spider involved has just been slid into its new position.
WINNING:
The game is won by the first player to CAPTURE 7 of their opponent's Spiders.
A player can also win if their opponent 'Gives Up,' conceding that there is no viable path to recovery or victory.
