Overview
Workers and Soldiers is a simplified 3X game (Expand, Exploit, Exterminate). Originally created for Alek Ericson's 'Realm variants contest'
Source rules (English)
For setup, players may drop their initial two workers anywhere on the board. Then players take turns moving either a worker or a soldier. Soldiers move in straight lines and capture by replacement. Workers produce new things based on the piece opposite them (worker+worker = base, worker+base = worker or soldier). The first player to be left with no moves loses.
