Bonaparte's Bluff

Bonaparte's Bluff is a two-player abstract strategy game. Use your pieces to push through your opponent's line, and reach their castles to win the game.

But there's a twist - the pieces lie. Any piece can pretend to be any other. It is up to you to figure out what's real, and what's a bluff!

Have you caught your opponent in a lie? Are you confident you can identify a bluff they have made? Challenge it! If you're right, you will be rewarded with an advantage. But on the flip side, if you challenge a move that isn't a bluff, they get the advantage - so be careful!

Bonaparte's Bluff provides a framework that allows for rich strategic depth. Do you want to play cautiously, and force your opponent to come to you? Bluff aggressively, and overwhelm your opponent's abilities to tell what's what? Hang back and look for a golden opportunity to pull a game-winning trick? It's all possible! Develop your own strategies, and use them to take control over the board!

Bonaparte's Bluff includes:

• Single player (VS CPU): Learn the game and hone your strategies while playing against a variety of CPU-controlled opponents.

• Online multiplayer (VS Human): Climb to the top of the ranked ladder, play in unranked games, or invite your friends to play in private lobbies.

• Time formats: Play in Standard, Quick, Accelerated or Lightning formats, each with its own distinct ranked ladder. Each mode's time constraints provides a unique challenge to the game.

• Replays: Did you play a particularly impressive game? Did you make a spectacular game-winning bluff you want to remember forever? Did you get outplayed, and want to see how your opponent did it? Save the replay, and play it back move-by-move any time you want!
