Arimaa for PC

Invented just a decade ago, Arimaa is a strategic board game that is steadily establishing itself as a modern classic. Like chess, checkers, go, and other games of this type, Arimaa is easy for beginners to learn, but offers infinite depths to challenge even the most experienced players. Many strategies are still being discovered and there is a wide variation in play styles between different players, making it an exciting and dynamic time to learn the game.

Unlike many other games where computer AI has surpassed human players, the positional nature of Arimaa gives humans the advantage. Currently, there is a $10,000 prize for anyone who can write a bot capable of defeating the best human players, and despite this prize and a series of efforts by the developers, the best human players have remained ahead. For more details about the game or the prize, visit www.arimaa.com.

This app allows you to play Arimaa with a friend or against a computer opponent and includes an in-app explanation of the rules for new players. The computer opponent is a version of the same bot that won the 2011 Arimaa Computer Championship. While significantly weaker on phone or tablet hardware, the computer can still provide excellent practice for beginner and intermediate players, and It has a difficulty level that can be easily adjusted.

Features:
- Play Arimaa with 1 player against the computer or with 2 players.
- Explanation of the integrated rules
- 11 difficulty levels for the computer
- Ability to save, load and view games.
