Pentaktys
A minimalist abstract strategy game that condenses chess-like planning into short, tactical sessions. Players place and move pieces on a shifting geometric board, aiming to outmaneuver the opponent through positioning and capture while adapting to changing options each turn. Rules are simple and teachable in under a minute, with typical games running 5–10 minutes, making it suitable for quick skill-sharpening or repeated play. Supports solo and two-player modes and emphasizes fresh tactical thinking over memorized openings.
