GhosTrick The Sacred War

Strategy 2 PlayerWorks on mobile

GhosTrick The Sacred War is a strategy game built around capturing each other's pieces, with a twist: some pieces must not be captured, and certain pieces have special roles or ranks. You can play against the computer, as P1 vs CPU, or against another player, as P1 vs P2.

There are three ways to win. You can force your opponent to capture all of your forbidden-to-capture pieces, capture a set number of the opponent's valid targets, or guide a set number of your own pieces to the designated escape points. Check the game screen for controls.

Decide early which of the three routes you are going for, since each one needs a different plan. If you like capture games, Checkers Strategy Board Game is a simpler place to start.
