|Freedom is a two-player abstract board game played on a square board that was invented by Veljko Cirovic and Nebojsa Sankovic in 2010.
Freedom is played on a 10x10 square board. Other sizes may be used for faster or longer games.
The objective of Freedom is to have more "live" stones at the end of the game, than your opponent. A stone is considered to be "live" if it is a part of some horizontal, vertical or diagonal row of exactly 4 stones of the same color.
On the illustration below the Black player wins the game: there are 11 "live" black stones (being a part of three "4-in-a-rows") and 8 "live" white stones (being a part of two "4-in-a-rows").Note that one of the "live" black stones is a part of two "4-in-a-rows" but it's counted only once.
A game begins with an empty board.
Each player has an allocated color: White and Black.
White plays first, putting one white stone anywhere on the board.
After this move players take turns placing their stones on empty cells adjacent to the last opponent's stone. If all cells adjacent to the last opponent's stone are occupied then the player gets the right ("freedom") to place his stone on any empty cell of the board.
The game ends when the board is filled with stones. The last player has the right to pass on his last turn (and leave the last cell empty) if placing his stone reduces his score.
Uhuru ni mchezo wa bodi ya abstract ya wachezaji wawili uliochezwa kwenye ubao wa mraba ambao ulibuniwa na Veljko Čirović na Nebojša Sanković mnamo 2010. Uhuru ni mchezo wa kucheza kwenye ubao wa mraba wa 10x10 Ukubwa mwingine unaweza kutumika kwa ajili ya michezo ya haraka au muda mrefu. Lengo la Uhuru ni kuwa na mawe zaidi "ya kuishi" mwishoni mwa mchezo, kuliko mpinzani wako. Jiwe huonwa kuwa "hai" ikiwa ni sehemu ya safu fulani ya usawa, wima au mstatili wa mawe manne ya rangi moja. Mchezaji mweusi anapata tuzo ya mchezo huu kwa kuwa ana mawe meusi 11 (yao ni sehemu ya safu tatu za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 za 4 Mchezo huanza na ubao usio na kitu. Kila mchezaji ana rangi iliyowekwa: Nyeupe na Nyeusi. White kucheza kwanza, kuweka jiwe moja nyeupe mahali popote juu ya bodi. Baada ya hatua hii wachezaji kuchukua zamu kuweka mawe yao juu ya seli tupu jirani na mawe ya mpinzani wa mwisho. Kama seli zote jirani na mwamba wa mpinzani wa mwisho ni occupied basi mchezaji anapata haki ("uhuru") kuweka jiwe lake juu ya seli yoyote tupu ya bodi. Mchezo unamalizika wakati ubao umejaa mawe. Mchezaji wa mwisho ana haki ya kupita katika zamu yake ya mwisho (na kuacha seli ya mwisho tupu) ikiwa kuweka jiwe lake hupunguza alama yake.
