Entropy is a 2-player game representing the struggle between Order and Chaos. The Order player tries to organize their board in such a way to score the highest amount. Chaos, of course, attempts to thwart Order whenever possible.
This implementation provides a simultaneous environment where each player has their own Order board. Each player places a piece on their opponent's Order board and then makes a move on their own board, both players acting as both Order and Chaos. The player with the greatest score wins!

| abdekker | 2 | One of the most elegant games you will ever play. |
| conillet | 2 | Among abstracts with a chance element, it's second only to the best game ever (Backgammon). |

| bigby | 1 | I like this game. It's fun playing the same pieces on two different boards. |
| CDRodeffer | 1 | I'm not very good at second guessing my opponent, nor at making patterns. But I enjoy Entropy anyway. |

| nycavri | 1 | Fun and fulfilling abstract. Love the simultaneous implementation here. |
| wyons | 1 | I think having 'simultaneous' moves is a great development. It gets around the luck factor and also makes chaos's play feel less unpleasant than if only one game is being played. |
| Cerulean | 0 | The simultaneous paradigm is the best way to play this. |

| Laurie_Menke | 0 | An enjoyable game, but a bit too long for SDG, in my opinion. |
| unic | -2 | Yuck - I found myself not enjoying this game at all! Some interesting ideas for sure, but I had absolutely no fun at all playing it, and thus will avoid it. |
