Ninth Move is a turn-based strategy game about reading positions, creating threats, and seeing the reply before it arrives. Three distinct pieces meet on a compact 6×8 board where every move changes what becomes possible next.
Guide a piece through an opposing exit, eliminate the other side, or leave it without a legal move. Play through 30 named campaign positions, study completed games, and challenge other players through Game Center.
Three Paths
A winning position can come from speed, force, or control. Keep every path in mind—the strongest move may threaten more than one.
Guide any piece onto either gold exit along your opponent's edge.
Remove every one of your opponent's pieces from the board.
Control the position until your opponent has no legal move remaining.
Know Your Pieces
Every piece captures by landing on an opponent. The difference is how each one reaches its destination.
Move one square forward, left, or right. Direct and dependable, Striders build lanes toward the exits.
Leap in an L-shape, even over occupied squares. Jumpers create threats from unexpected angles.
Move one square in any direction. Guards connect formations, defend routes, and switch direction quickly.
Simple To Learn
Learn the movement rules in minutes. Then discover how much can happen when three piece types, two exits, captures, and restoration begin to interact.
Every third capture restores one lost piece near your home edge. A material advantage can become a new tactical problem in a moment.
Choose Novice, Strategist, or Tournament play. NinthBot searches deeper at each strength and varies strong alternatives so a solved sequence does not become an automatic win.
Replay completed games move by move, read compact Ninth notation, branch from any position, and save your own study variations.
Thirty Named Positions
Each position changes the geometry of the game—not merely the difficulty. New exits, obstacles, channels, and formations demand a different plan.
Chapter One introduces the first five positions. Twenty-five additional premium positions lead through increasingly demanding structures to The Ninth Move.
