\"alpha\"Bolster Boardgame<\/h2>\n

Bolster is a turn-based, abstract strategy game where two armies\u00a0meet on the battlefield to eliminate the strongest of the opponent’s units. Rearrange units of various strengths\u00a0to constantly improve your own position, while weakening the opponent. \u00a0All units share the strength of adjacent allied units when resolving attacks, and charge movements allow long chains of units to be moved to\u00a0trap, manipulate, and eliminate your\u00a0opponent’s units. \u00a0Each player takes\u00a0one move per turn, and based on positions of allied and enemy pieces, attack and defense scores may be bolstered by adjacent units. Players may choose to have any number of allied units follow behind the first\u00a0unit\u00a0moved.
