About this game

Superbet
Superbet brings kōnane, the ancient stone game of Hawaiʻi, to a volcanic night shore. The board begins completely full, dark and light stones alternating like a checkerboard; you command the dark stones and the tide — the computer — plays the light. The opening clears two neighbouring stones, and from there every move is a capture: a stone leaps straight over an adjacent enemy into the empty square beyond, removing it. Line up more enemies ahead and you chain the jumps in a single move. Stones never move except by capturing, so the board slowly empties, and the player left with no legal jump on their turn loses. It is a pure duel of foresight — no dice, no chance, no purchases. Twenty rising sieges grow the board from six squares to twelve and sharpen a minimax rival that searches further ahead each tier, so mobility and position matter more the deeper you climb. Win quickly, with stones to spare, to earn all three tide-marks and coins. Fair to both sides from the first jump to the last: everything is won by skill, nothing is sold.
