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!

One of the most elegant games you will ever play.

Among abstracts with a chance element, it's second only to the best game ever (Backgammon).

I like this game. It's fun playing the same pieces on two different boards.

I'm not very good at second guessing my opponent, nor at making patterns. But I enjoy Entropy anyway.

Fun and fulfilling abstract. Love the simultaneous implementation here.

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.

The simultaneous paradigm is the best way to play this.

An enjoyable game, but a bit too long for SDG, in my opinion.

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.
