Surikata

Place the termite mounds on the empty gameboard. The first playing piece also brings the meerkat into the game, and from its position it always looks horizontally and vertically in all four directions - but never over one of the termite mounds! You cannot place pieces on the spaces it can see! However, a termite mound blocks its line of view and you can place pieces on the spaces behind it. The playing pieces are placed alternately, and the gameboard becomes busier and busier. With each turn, the meerkat moves to a new position and the lines of view shift accordingly. In Surikata, the aim is to place your own pieces strategically in order to block the spaces your opponent needs.
