Dodgem
Abstract strategy game / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the abstract game. For the fairground ride, see bumper cars. For the underground magazine, see Dodgem Logic.
Dodgem is a simple abstract strategy game invented by Colin Vout in 1972 while he was a mathematics student at the University of Cambridge as described in the book Winning Ways. It is played on an n×n board with n-1 cars for each player—two cars each on a 3×3 board is enough for an interesting game, but larger sizes are also possible.
