Tako Judo (2007)

Tako Judo - "The Timeless Sport of Octopus Wrestling" is an abstract strategy game for 2 to 4 players where the object is to prevent your opponent(s) from being able to move. Played on a 64-square (for 2 players) or 100-square (for 3 or 4 players) board, each player controls the head and 8 tentacles of an octopus. The head takes up a 2x2 square area, and each tentacle takes up one square. Any piece can move like a Chess queen (any distance along an open orthogonal or diagonal line, but without jumping), provided that there is also a clear line of site between that piece's original location and the head piece for the octopus to which it belongs. A player whose octopus is no longer able to effectively move its head or any tentacles (either move them at all or only harmlessly move a tentacle back and forth between a couple of squares) is pinned and eliminated from the game.
