Soccolot

Description

Soccolot is a 1972 abstract strategy game by David Wilson. The original game was played on a 8x8 board with six pieces per team. Players can move or can interact with the ball either by shooting it (kick) or by moving it together with one team men (dribble). There is a constant struggle to gain control of the board and to find an opening to move or shoot the ball to the opponent's home row. The main variant is faster, played on a 7x7 board with five pieces per team for better piece interaction. Robert A. Kraus implemented both variants for Zillions.
