Hey!

Do you know the game, have you played it?
I think you should give it a try.

Because I just mentioned it over there, maybe go take a look:

I do have a pdf with the rules on 2 pages (DIN-A4, non-tiny font), which I sadly no longer found online.
I just want to stress that the rules are actually few and quite simple, I would say there is less to remember than for chess e.g.
yet the game offers a degree of freedom which approaches that of chess.
Here are the basic rules concise from the designer:

Andrew Looney has them a bit more elaborate and illustrated: https://www.looneylabs.com/rules/homeworlds

Cool abstract little game and the 'mids when playing this surely are an eye-catcher.

I also like Zendo which is a kind of Mastermind like puzzle game with the 'mids but you need a lot of 'em for this one.

There is a computer version of it (that is also linked to at another host in the previous linked site): https://www.old-games.com/download/5719/zendo-san
