CDRodeffer76Yes Arimaa is a complex action-point driven traversal abstract, remotely related to Jungle, that's a good stepping stone between games like Traverse, Halma and Breakthrough and capture games like Checkers. You can play Arimaa with a Chess set, but doing so may cause confusion if the two games are learned too close together.
Shade_Jon712Yes Even more abstract strategy than Chess, but less popular appeal. Kids who are really into this type of game will enjoy it. Essentially, you move your pieces and try to drag your opponents pieces onto the black spaces. Seems to take a lot of thought.
