Aribbaa

Introduction

Arimaa is a board game created by Omar and Aamir Syed to be difficult for computers, but still easy and fun for humans.

Aribbaa is a software for playing Arimaa with other people, on your computer. It is available for any platform that can run Ruby programs and has the GTK library available, including but not limited to GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and MS Windows (with a bit of work).

Warning: Aribbaa is in the early stages of development, and therefore should not be considered as reliable. It may crash, and it does lack features.
