Welcome to British Square! The game of territory control and outflanking your opponent!
British Square is a a semi-obscure board game that was originally released in 1978 by Gabriel Games. I discovered the game at a used book sale where a friend and I picked it up for $1. We played it quite a bit and I was enamored with how simple and fun it was. A few years later and I convinced another friend to help me make a video game version. We started in GameMaker and got a prototype functioning but never finished it.
A 4 years later I wanted to dip my toes into programming and decided that making a mobile app version of British Square would be my goal. With the help of a friend, I was able to make that happen. And another friend provided a piece of music for the game. We released the game on Android and iOS and had 10's of downloads.
That was all 10 years ago now, and since then I have gone back to school for a computer science degree and spent several years in the industry. So I thought, why not try again. Here we are 1 month of weekends and free time and it's finished. I have recreated the music from the mobile game, and implemented a basic computer player as well as a 2-player mode.
I hope you enjoy it.
