How the Ancient Game Works

Three elegant rules create infinite strategic depth

Core Movement System

  • Every piece slides in straight lines until blocked by another piece or board edge
  • No diagonal movement allowed, making position planning critical
  • King pieces move identically to other pieces, with no special privileges
  • Sliding mechanics create dynamic board states that shift with every move
  • Players must visualize multi-step sequences before committing to moves

Capture Mechanics

  • Captures occur when your move traps an opponent between two of your pieces
  • Landing directly on an enemy piece never results in a capture
  • Corner squares act as virtual pieces, enabling single-piece captures
  • Multiple pieces can be captured in a single brilliant move
  • Defensive formations around the king create tactical challenges

About the Historical Game

Super Bonanza brings to mobile devices a strategic tradition stretching back over a thousand years before chess reached Europe. The sliding-capture mechanics reflect the asymmetric warfare of Viking-era Scandinavia, where a small defending force protected their king against superior attacking numbers. The game was discovered carved into ancient stone tablets and played across medieval Northern Europe under various names.
