Description:

The Game of the Amazons (or simply Amazons) is an abstract game of territory for two players, played on a 10×10 board.
Each player has four amazons, which move like chess queens : any number of vacant squares in a straight line—orthogonally or diagonally.
After it moves, an amazon must fire an arrow in the same manner from its landing square (one or more vacant squares orthogonally or diagonally)—the square where the arrow lands is then marked with a poker chip or other counter to indicate it is blocked (in the computer version blocked squares are colored red).
No amazon or arrow may move into or through a blocked square.
White moves first, moving one amazon and firing an arrow with that amazon.
The players alternate moving, and the player last able to make a move wins.
