Take one of the most mind-challenging games known to mankind, and you have the game of Chess. Now take one of the less mind-challenging, but probably better known, games of the world, and you have jan-ken-pon (paper scissors stone). Combine these two together and you get Trimok.
Trimok is a new board game for two, developed from the old Japanese game jan-ken-pon (scissors paper rock). It is a chess/checker -like strategy game where you have to move your twelve pieces into positions in which they can capture the oppositions, using the paper, scissors and stone hierarchy.
It is a good concept in itself, but with the added internet capabilites (ie. iTrimok) the software is a complete package. Unfortunately though the playability, despite being a combination of two of the most enjoyable games ever, is thoroughly dull.
