What is Waffle Wars?
Waffle Wars is a strategy board game that began as a high school art project made out of clay—combining capturing, blocking, and connect-to-win gameplay. People loved the game, and it gained traction in the community because of its simple and addictive gameplay, so we decided to expand on it and make it publicly available. Enjoy!
There are 4 ways to win:
1. Win 3/4 Quadrants
The 6x6 board is divided into four 3x3 quadrants. To win one of the quadrants, you need a 3-in-a-row (straight or diagonal) or a 2x2 square. The 3-in-a-row or square must be within the quadrant to win it (not across quadrants). A quadrant win can be undone through jumping at any point in the game until a player has 3/4 quadrants won. At that point, they instantly win the game.
2. 5-in-a-row
This is an instant win condition. It can be diagonal or straight and can be across 2-3 quadrants. 6-in-a-row is also a win (Super-Mega-Flex).
3. Fill a Quadrant
Fill all 9 spaces in a quadrant with only your pieces. This may be challenging—impossible even—when your opponent has edge or corner pieces that cannot be jumped.
4. Depletion
Capture all your opponent's pieces, so they have no moves left to make. If they run out of pieces in their hand, they can still play if jumps are available, but when they run out of moves, they lose.
