Description

The ancient game of Shisima, played by the Tiriki people of Kenya. It is similar to Tic-Tac-Toe, but each player starts with 3 pieces already on the board and then tries to maneuver them to achieve a 3-in-a-row through the central square.

Shisima means "body of water" in Kenyan. The pieces are called imbalavali, meaning "water bugs".

How To Play
----------------
The game is played on a 3x3 board. The goal is to achieve a 3-in-a-row using the central square -- horizontally, vertically, or diagonally -- while blocking your opponent from doing the same.

You start with three pieces in the bottom row and your opponent starts with three pieces on the top row. For the first game, the first player is selected randomly, then alternates with each game. Pieces can move a single square in any direction along any line on the board. All pieces remain on the board at all times.

The game is declared a draw after 50 moves.

In single player mode, the difficulty level will automatically increase or decrease as you win or lose. You can also manually adjust the difficulty level and then lock it into place to prevent it from automatically adjusting.
