         "halma": "To prevent the [drawish nature](https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3706389/unspoiling-halma-redux) of the game, the following rules apply: (a) a player wins if the opposite home-base is complete with at least one friendly stone (David Parlett's criteria); (b) Any piece in the player's home-base must make progress towards the enemy camp whenever this is possible by jumping over an enemy piece. (Zillions rule, to remove drawish strategies); (c) No stone can return to its home-base.\n\n[Halma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halma) was one of the first commercial successes for an abstract game. The game was designed by [George Howard Monks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Howard_Monks) in 1883/4. It is said that Halma was inspired by an older British game called *Hoppity*. However, this game has no documentation or surviving boards, turning this lineal statement into a historical mystery. Halma was later adapted (c.1892/3) into an even bigger success: [Chinese Checkers](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2386/chinese-checkers) (which could easily be played by three or six players).\n\nSuper Halma is a more dynamic, uncredited variant, presented in the 1992 book **New Rules for Classic Games** by Wayne Schmittberger. This variant proposes long jumps, where the number of empty cells before and after the jumped stone must be equal. The base's move restrictions still apply in this implementation of Super Halma.",
         "halmaclimbers": "Halma Climbers was designed by Alexander Brady in 2021.\n\nThis implementation allows players to move at will, rather than restricting them to moves that strictly increase the overall score (as mentioned in David Ploog's [ruleset](https://blackandwhite.develz.org/games/HalmaClimbers.pdf)). This design choice removes the burden of checking multiple move combinations just to find out that no more moves exist that increase the overall score. This also prevents the software from having to compute an excessive number of permutations, which can be quite high given the two-action turn structure and complex jump sequences. The game ends when both players pass their turns consecutively, or if the previous player evacuates their own area, or if the current player does not have forward jumps available.",
         "homeworlds": "The win condition is what's called \"Sinister Homeworlds.\" You only win by defeating the opponent to your left. If someone else does that, the game continues, but your left-hand opponent now shifts clockwise. For example, in a four-player game, if I'm South, then I win if I eliminate West. But if the North player ends up eliminating West, the game continues, but now my left-hand opponent is North.",
+        "invector": "Invector, designed by Mark Steere in 2026, is an elimination game inspired by the ancient Hawiian game of Kōnane. Invector begins with a checkerboard pattern of stones, has short range captures, and is extremely simple. Invector simply combines two basic, off-the-shelf ingredients: orthogonal, adjacent capturing moves, and orthogonal, adjacent moves closer to center.",
