Enclave

Remember drawing dots in the back of your school notebook? Enclave turns that classic pen-and-paper game into a 3D duel on a real squared notebook lying on a school desk.

How to play

Take turns placing ballpoint pens on the dots of the sheet. Surround your opponent's pens with a closed wall of your own — they become your prisoners, and you score a point for each one. Build traps around empty dots, break your opponent's traps, rescue your captured pens. When the sheet is full, the player with more points wins.

Simple to learn — a step-by-step interactive tutorial teaches every rule in a minute — but with real depth: encirclements, double threats, traps and counter-traps.

Features

• A neural-network AI opponent trained by playing against itself (AlphaZero-style). It sets traps, blocks your rings and punishes mistakes.
• Hot-seat mode — two players on one computer.
• Interactive tutorial — learn every rule through small guided puzzles.
• A real notebook on a real desk — ink hatching, hand-drawn outlines, pens that cast shadows.
• Board map (M) — see the whole battlefield at a glance.
• 5 languages: English, Ukrainian, Polish, Czech, Belarusian.
