Diatotem

Diatotem is my attempt at making a board game that takes advantage of being a digital board game while also being firmly rooted in board game design.

Diatotem is a game about communication and the struggles between people.

Rules:

Goal: After 50 turns have the most squares in your color

Controls:

• arrow keys to move character
• space to toggle Totem placement(untoggling will change the totem type)
• R to restart
• Z to skip your turn
• Esc to go back to the menu

Totems:

• Bear: will attack any enemy totems or players that are one tile adjacent (dies after 6 turns)
• Wolf: will attack any player in line of sight and will move like a Rook in chess would (dies after 6 turns)
• Owl: moves randomly (dies after 2 turns)
• Totems that hit you, besides the Owl, will cause you to lose a turn.

Additional Rules:

• devils will spawn at the sides of the map and will uncolor tiles as they move randomly. Devils can be killed simply by a player or totem moving onto them.
• spinning square tiles will paint adjacent tiles as well as give you an extra move your next turn when touched.

Update 1.1:

• balanced totems
• added menu
• added color blind mode
• added music
• various bug fixes
• added neutral "devil" characters
