Konane

Hawaiian checkers — one of the oldest board games in the world, you (black) versus a minimax CPU (white). The board starts packed like a checkerboard; two adjacent centre stones are lifted to open play. On your turn, jump one of your stones orthogonally over an adjacent enemy stone into the empty space beyond, capturing it — and you may keep jumping in the same straight line for a multi-capture combo. There is no other way to move. The first player who cannot move loses, so the game is a battle to strand your opponent.
