In Accasta, players compete on a 37-cell hexagonal board using 20 pieces each—Shields, Horses, and Chariots. The goal is to place at least three pieces in the opponent's home area. Pieces can be stacked up to three high and stacks can be split, offering rich tactical possibilities in a short, focused game.
