About Tactico

Version …

Tactico is a two-player strategy board game in which each side commands an army of ranked pieces with hidden identities and tries to capture the opponent's F piece.

Goal. Capture your opponent's F — or leave them with no legal move. Each side secretly deploys 40 pieces on their four back rows of a 10×10 board. On your turn move one piece one square orthogonally (2 may slide any number of empty squares in a straight line). Pieces may not enter the two brick areas in the middle.

Pieces (board labels)

F, B, 1, 2, 3, 4–9 (ascending ranks), 10 (highest).

Combat

When you move onto a square occupied by an opponent piece:

  • Higher rank wins. The lower-ranked piece is removed; the winner takes the square.
  • Equal ranks: both pieces are removed.
  • 1 vs 10: when 1 attacks 10, 1 wins. In every other matchup 1 loses.
  • Attacking B: only 3 defuses it and takes the square; any other attacker is removed and B stays.
  • Attacking F: any attacker captures it — the game ends immediately.
  • F and B cannot move.

Opponent

Your opponent is an AI agent driven by a deep neural network trained with a combination of imitation learning (from human/expert games) and reinforcement learning (from self-play).

Ways to play

Vs. AI — play against the neural-network agent described above. This mode talks to the Tactico server, so it requires an internet connection.

Vs. Friend — play head-to-head against another person, each on their own device. The two devices connect directly over Bluetooth or Wi‑Fi and need no internet at all. You can even play in the air: switch on Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth after take‑off and connect to a friend sitting nearby — no in‑flight internet required.

Current limitations

Only auto-deploy is supported in this version — manual piece-by-piece deployment, save/load setup, and replay save/load will be added on demand.
