Proximity: Free Turn Based Strategy Game

Play:  Small | Medium | Large

Proximity is a free turn based strategy game that trains numerical reasoning and problem-solving skills. The object is to have control of the most armies after all the tiles have been placed. To begin, click the Small, Medium, or Large link under the picture at left. This opens the game in a pop-up window. Click the "Play!" link on the game, then click "Quickstart" to start the action.

Each turn you receive a numbered tile that you can place on any unoccupied space on the board. If this tile is adjacent to any ally tiles, it strengthens their defenses.

If adjacent to enemy tiles, it takes control of them if its number is higher than the number on the enemy tile. The red army always goes first, but you can switch whether the red or blue army is the computer.

HOW TO PLAY. For example, suppose you are dealt a "14" tile. You place this tile on the board at a position where it is next to another of your tiles that is a "12" and also an enemy tile that is a "9". Because the tile you played has a higher value than the enemy tile, that enemy tile switches to your color (you capture that tile). Also, your "12" tile is strengthened and becomes a "13".

You can play proximity against the computer or a friend. This strategy game is especially fun when you play against another person. To set up your game options, click the "Setup Game" button on the main menu screen.
