Surakarta: Loop Capture
Javanese strategy board game
$0.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Race around the loops and capture your opponent! Discover Surakarta, Indonesia’s ingenious strategy game. Play solo or with a friend—offline and ad-free.
Surakarta is a classic strategy game from Solo (Surakarta), Indonesia, played on a 6x6 board with eight looping corner tracks. What makes it special is the loop capture: you take an enemy piece only by sliding along a straight line, curving around one or more corner loops, and landing right on it. A plain move never captures, but a looping move does, so every turn is a small puzzle of paths and angles.
How to play
- Tap one of your pieces to select it.
- Move to an empty square, or slide around a corner loop to land on an enemy piece and capture it.
- A move with no loop cannot capture; only the looping path takes a piece.
- Capture all enemy pieces, or reach the capture target, to win.
- Play against the computer or with a friend on the same device.
Features
- One player vs computer with three difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard.
- Two players on one tablet or phone, taking turns on the same screen.
- Kid mode highlights captures and shows the looping path.
- 11 languages, with right-to-left support for Arabic and Urdu.
