Hobbes was invented in 1998 (read the whole entry of the World of Abstract Games!) and copyrighted in 2002. The game is played on a 5x5 square board. On each turn,each player moves his King to an adjacent (orthogonal or diagonal) empty cell any number of times.After that,he must capture the opponent King (if possible) or push or pull an adjacent orthogonal soldier. A push/pull is valid if the other cell (where the King goes if it is a pull,or the soldier goes if it is a push) is empty. A player wins if he captures the opponent King.
