Piet Hein - con-tac-tix by piet hein

, unica home
con-tac-tix is played on a diamond-shaped board by two players. two opposite sides of the diamond are marked black; the diamond belongs to either side. one player has as supply of black pins; the other, a supply of white pins. the players alternately place one of their pins in any one of the holes, provided the hole is not already occupied by another pin. the objective of black is to complete an unbroken chain of black pins between the two black sides. white tries to complete a similar chain of white pins between the white sides. the chain may freely twist and turn. the players continue placing their pins until one of them has made a complete chain. the game cannot end in a draw, because one player can block the other only by completing his own chain. these rules are simple, yet con-tac-tix is a game of surprising mathematical subtlety.
