Emergo (board game)
Emergo is a board game created by Christian Freeling and Ed van Zon in 1986. Its name is derived from the motto of the Dutch province of Zeeland: Luctor et emergo.
Emergo belongs to the family of abstract strategy games in general. In particular, it belongs to the so-called "stacking games" category, and it is related to the games of Bashni and Lasca. Emergo has won critical acclaim.Rules
Emergo comes in two versions, one played on the black fields of a 9×9 square board and one on a hexagonal board consisting of 37 hex cells. The latter version, also called Hexemergo, was abandoned by its inventor because a winning strategy was found in correspondence play. The square version does not suffer from a similar problem.
