	Description Edit \| History

Octi is an abstract strategy that is similar to checkers and chess. The object of the game is move your pieces into your opponent's starting points. The difference between checkers and Octi is that this game allows for multiple jumping, capturing, and special movement of pieces. On each move players decide whether to bring in new pieces, upgrade their existing pieces, or move a piece. The choices in this game are staggering and each move presents and entire new way of thinking about the game. There is a 4 player teams variant that is included in the rules.
