DIAMONDS.
The Game That Thinks Back.
Two players. Infinite strategy. Zero mercy.
Drop your seeds. Control the board. Complete a hattrick on your opponent's starting position — or watch them do it to you.
Diamonds is a territory-based strategy game where every placement is a mind game. Read your opponent, anticipate their next move, and execute before they do. One wrong drop and the board flips.
Simple to learn. Impossible to master.
Game Overview
How it works
Diamonds is a fast, two-player abstract strategy game played on a diamond-shaped board. Three seeds per player. One objective — land all three on your opponent's starting position before they do it to you.
The Board
The playing field is a diamond grid — symmetrical, with no neutral ground. Every tile is contested territory from the first move.
The Seeds
Each player controls three seeds. Seeds advance, block, and slide across the board in a tactical race toward the enemy's origin point.
The Objective
Occupy all three of your opponent's starting positions with your seeds — a hattrick. First to complete it wins. No partial credit. No draws.
The Depth
The ruleset is minimal by design. What emerges from it is not. Every move forces a decision — advance and expose yourself, or hold position and cede ground. Block your opponent's seed and you may open your own origin. Ignore them and the board closes fast.
