Pivotrap

Pivotrap is a 1v1 turn-based strategy game where the physical roll of the die determines your path to victory.Part spatial puzzle, part territory war, every move reshapes your options for the next turn.

How to Play

• The Pivot: You move one square at a time by physically pivoting your die along its edge.
• Momentum Dictates Movement: The number landing on your top face at the end of a step isn't just a number—it’s the exact amount of movement points you must spend on your next turn. Plan your line carefully to avoid stranding yourself.
• Claim the Board: Unoccupied squares you cross are claimed in your color. Retraverse your own territory freely, but stay sharp: you cannot step onto an opponent's claimed tile without spending a Coin.
• The Vault: Encircle an unoccupied space with four of your own claimed squares to trigger a "Surround," capture that space instantly, and mint a Coin.
• Coin Powers: Spend Coins to invade opponent territory and flip their tiles to your side.

Victory Control the board, force your opponent into a corner, and capture the most territory before the grid runs out of room!
