Law & Chaos

The abstract game Law & Chaos combines careful placement of "stones" on a board with changing victory conditions and capture methods, controlled in considerable part by the players. You can either place a stone, or play a victory method or capture method card that changes either one of your methods, one of another player's methods, or one of the shared methods. You have to try to build your position while interfering with others by placement or capture, anticipating what they may be trying to do.

It is that rare thing, a highly-interactive, natural three-player game, but can also be played by two or four.
