Surge

About

Surge is a original 5×6 strategy board game with an AI opponent
that learns and improves through real reinforcement learning —
not scripted difficulty tiers.

HOW TO PLAY
Move your pieces forward to reach the opponent's back row, or
eliminate all their pieces. Standard moves go one square forward,
straight or diagonal. Diagonal moves can capture enemy pieces.

THE SURGE MECHANIC
Each player gets exactly 3 Surge tokens for the entire game.
Spend one to jump two squares straight forward, skipping whatever
is in between. Land on an enemy to capture them. But the piece
that Surged is Exposed until your next turn — any adjacent enemy
can take it for free from any direction. Use it wisely.

GAME MODES
- Single player vs AI — Easy, Medium, or Hard
- Local 2-player hotseat on the same device

THE AI
The opponent runs live Monte Carlo Tree Search entirely inside
your browser. No servers, no network calls, nothing phoning home.
The agent builds a personal strategy table stored locally in your
browser and gets stronger the more you play it.

PRIVACY
Zero network calls. No data leaves your browser. Ever.
