Abstract(s)
Predominance is a new strategy game for two-players, played on a Penrose’s tiling board with a time control. The pieces are divided in white and black sets and each set has four different ranking pieces, ordered by value: commanders, knights, soldiers and conscripts. This game is played in two stages. The first stage is played by the two players putting in position the pieces on board, placed in an alternate way. In the second stage of the game, the players can move the pieces and make captures. The game ends when a player reach forty five points in captured pieces. Predominance is a cunning game, playable at several levels of complexity. Some winning strategies are explored.
