Strata 5
Move pawns and place building blocks to construct a five-level structure. Each turn, move two pawns and position one block as both players seek the fastest route upward. Trap, blockade, or capture opposing pawns while following the building and movement restrictions. The first player to move a pawn onto the fifth level wins.

Chipsmith6.6 Haven't played this one for a looong time, but what I do remember was that it was a pretty good abstract strategy game, and one that was pulled out often when there was only one other player available. One good feature I remember was the fact that there are 3 ways to win: Get rid of all your opponent's pawns by either a) capturing them (like checkers) and/or b) smother/bury your opponents pawns under a layer you just built. (Like burying Jimmy Hoffa into giants stadium lol) OR c) getting one of your pawns to the 5th level. Also it had a shogi-like rule in which if you capture a pawns, you flip it over and it becomes yours to use.
