How it works
Players use simple components to build multi-level boards and play a variety of unique strategy games.
Start with pads, posts and links to build your three dimensional grid-set. These form your playing arena. Then, use nodes to modify any pad's function. You can teleport, block, and get kinged. Finally, use markers to move around the gridset, capture opponents, and score points.
Gridopolis is fast and easy to learn. Rules are based on classic games like checkers, chess, and tic-tac-toe.
The Basic Parts of Gridopolis
The Structure

The Nodes

The Player Marker
Use color-coded markers to move, jump, capture and score points.
