ICFPT 2013 Design Competition: Blokus Duo
News
- Game logs from Pre-finals and Finals are now available in Resources.
Introduction
Following on the successful Connect6 competitions, we'll compete against each other at a game called Blokus Duo with our FPGA implementations, at ICFPT 2013.
Blokus Duo is a two-player game played on a square, 14x14 grid board. Each player has 21 different-shaped game tiles. Each new piece played must be placed to contact at least one piece of the same color with their corner-to-corner. Edge-to-edge contact is only allowed to the other color.
Schedule
The competition has finished successfully. Thanks to all competitors and audience. Replay movies will be on this website, soon.
