Polar

Polar is a strategy board game reimagined on a circular board. Forget the 8x8 grid. Polar is played on five concentric rings — the Pole at the center, then rings B, C, D, and the outer rim E — each divided into 24 wedges. Movement, capture, and strategy all work differently when the board curves back on itself. THE ARMY Each side commands 20 pieces: - 1 Prime — your king-equivalent - 1 Omni — your most powerful piece - 2 Arc - 2 Radial - 2 Vector - 12 Clone Every piece type moves and threatens differently around the rings, and the Pole itself is special: it has no color, and standing on it lets your Arc or Omni switch sides. The Vector can jump through the Pole and make a quarter turn on the far side. Clones can trade up into more powerful pieces mid-game. Learning how these pieces interact with the circular geometry is the heart of Polar's strategy.
