2-Player Turn-Based Abstract Strategy
Universal Control Protocol & Movement Mechanics
Crunch is a two-player, turn-based abstract strategy game played on a hexagonal grid. The core concept revolves around maneuvering and weaponizing neutral obstacles to trap the enemy between "A Rock and a Hard Place".
Objective: Win the game by forcing the opponent's mover into a lethal trap—pushing a rock into them when they cannot retreat—thereby executing a Crunch, or by forcing the opponent to surrender.
A player controls only their respective mover. Each turn, perform one of three actions:
Move one space into any adjacent empty hex.
A mover can push the opposing mover if the space directly behind them is an empty hex. Both movers advance one space.
A player achieves Crunch and immediately wins the match when pushing a rock into the opposing mover under Hazardous Conditions.
When both conditions are met, Mover B is crushed between the incoming rock and a hard place — immediate victory for Mover A!
