I've been developing this two player abstract for a while. It plays on a circular board with three concentric rings (two of which move) and 36 nodes.
Here's the board. Some of the ideas of the game:
- There are two set of stones. One that move one steps, one that move one or two steps in any direction.
- To win, occupy the three inner nodes simultaneously (or capture all opponent pieces - to capture, you must jump over an opponent's stone).
- Rotation mechanic with a global counter. The number follows a forced 1-2-3-1... cycle.
- Captured pieces return as reserves.
Runs in browser. There's local and online multiplayer, built-in engine at three difficulty levels. I work professionally with chess, so there's even an analysis board and something similar to FEN and PGN notation :)
We've played it a bit, and it seems like fun. But we need some feedback to figure out just how fun it really is, and whether it's too hard. In short, we're looking for new opponents to play some games.

I've also published the game to itchdotio to try to share the game more (but it doesn't work as well as it works on GitHub) - https://encomio.itch.io/tre-anelli
Thank you!
