Description
The intention of the game is to take the opponent off so much land that he can not move anymore. That means that the player's figure of play must be isolated on a single playing stone, which no longer has any links with other play pieces.

Tactical thinking is trained and sense of planning is developed and promoted.

Includes game rules in Dutch, German, French, Italian, English.

Isolation is a two-player abstract strategy board game. It is played on a 7x7 board which is initially filled with squares, except at the starting positions of the pieces. Both players have one piece; it is in the middle position of the row closest to his/her side of the board.

A move consists of two subsequent actions:

1. Moving one's piece to a neighboring (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) position that contains a square but not the opponent's piece
2. Removing any square with no piece on it, similar to the arrow effect in Game of the Amazons.

The player who cannot make any move loses the game.
