Show HN: GeoChess – open-source geography strategy game

The rules are really simple. Players take turns claiming a country that shares a land border with the current one. You lose if you have no valid moves left.

I'd appreciate any feedback.

Like it! However Denmark and Sweden apparently aren't "connected"!

Which is fine of course, but would be nice if the rules made that clear!

I expected the countries to be a painted when they are selected.

This looks really nice. Something new to play with friends on game nights, will try this one out.

I played about 8 rounds and I still don't understand the goal.

Loaded it on a pixel phone, saw a list of countries with no context about what picking one meant, saw a map but didn't understand how to interact with it, and that was about it.
