ZenGame is a strategy game created by Zenithal to play on eRepublik with the in-game messages.

Two players plays against each others on a field of 8 lanes, on the lanes they places 6 pieces which will gain them their points. How many depends on how well they manage to read the opponents tactic.

The pieces are:

Runner - the runner is a small piece that sets off in full speed as soon as the game starts to get through the lane as quick as possible and reach the other side. The runner gets one point if he reaches the end of the lane - 1p (In every scenario except if he faces a blocker)

Blocker - the blocker is a large and stationary pice, he doesn't even try to reach the other side of the lane. Instead he just focus on blocking the end of the lane so that no piece gets pass him. The blocker gets two points if he blocks an opponents piece to reach the end of the lane - 2p (Only if he faces a runner)

Warrior - the warrior is familiar to the runner but stronger and more aggressive, he gives everything to reach the other side and hits everything in his way. The warrior gets one point if he reaches the other side - 1p (In every scenario except if he faces a runner or another warrior, in the second case no one gets a point.)

Table of how to score: Runner - Runner = Both players gets 1 point

Runner - Blocker = The blocker gets 2 points

Runner - Berserk = The runner gets 1 point

Runner - Empty lane = The runner gets 1 point

Blocker - Blocker = No player gets any point

Blocker - Warrior = The warrior gets 1 point

Blocker - Empty lane = No player gets any point

Warrior - Warrior = No player gets any point

Warrior - Empty lane = The warrior gets 1 point

The two lanes in the middle (4 and 5) are bonus lanes and gives twice the points.

The players chooses 6 pieces each of any kind, any mix is allowed, chooses how to place them and then sends the line-up to the referee who publishes the line-ups when the deadline is reached. When the line-ups are published a new deadline is set and the player have a chance to move their pieces: each piece can take one step to the right, one step to the left or no step at all as long as there are no more than one piece/lane. When the new moves are made and sent to the referee the points are counted and the results are published.
