Achi

Achi is a traditional two-player board game from Ghana, similar to three-in-a-row games like Tic-Tac-Toe (Noughts and Crosses) or Nine Men's Morris. The game is played on a 3x3 grid, and the objective is to form a straight line of three pieces, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Here's how to play Achi:

  1. Players: There are two players in the game, each with four playing pieces of distinct colors (e.g., black and white).

  2. Board setup: The game board is a 3x3 grid with nine intersections. Each player places their four pieces on the board's intersections, leaving one vacant space.

  3. Gameplay: Players take turns moving one of their pieces along the lines to an adjacent vacant point on the board. The objective is to form a straight line of three pieces.

  4. Winning: The first player to align their three pieces in a row – horizontally, vertically, or diagonally – wins the game. If no player can form a line of three pieces and there are no legal moves left, the game ends in a draw.
