Force-Out™ is our first release of a collection committed to helping develop young minds, and we believe the cause to be priceless. Funds from Force-Out™ are being used to support the development of math logic skills in elementary grade children. Your support will be applied to further the development of the Force-Out™ suite of logic examinations.
Force-Out™ is a strategy game played on a matrix starting at 5x5 where players attempt to "force out" their opponent. Future development of the game involves the transition from a single Euclidean plane to three spatial dimensions within Euclidean space and across objects of non-Euclidean space. Its simplicity challenges the players’ math logic skills and helps to improve arithmetic intuition through the manipulation of a numberless binary system.
Players select one of two types of tiles to play on the matrix. A tile is either a plus or a hyperbola and is played to control the direction of the game. A player wins when the opponent is forced out of the matrix or into an infinite loop.
To select the type of tile to play, tap a grid on the matrix repeatedly until your desired type appears. Select “PLACE” after you have made your choice.
The first player can select any grid on the matrix and may play either tile. The second player can play any tile next to the first player’s tile (obviously not directing the connected lines off of the grid) Once the second player lays a tile the direction of play must connect to the second players tile and continue the line established that connects those tiles, the line of play is highlighted.
All points are awarded to the winner with each tile played constituting one point.
We would like to thank the students of Julian Elementary School for testing this game on their iOS devices.
