There are some obvious similarities with chess, however Baladana™
is more abstract and even more complex and dynamic.
The biggest difference is that while in chess the way each playing piece
can move is always the same, in Baladana™,
the way figures can move is dynamic, determined by their 'powers'. The
configuration of these powers represented by the colored rings is updated
throughout the game - players can change the position of one ring as part
of each move, placing up to 3 rings on any figure. When more rings of
different colors are placed on a figure the powers combine and as the
game progresses, you can gradually build up more and more powerful figures.
