Description: History of the game.
1988, near Rotherham, in England, two young guys, . Craig remembers: « Dave and I "invented" it, I use the term loosely because it is very derivative of reversi, etc. We started out with the concept of designing a board game that would work better on a computer than on a traditional board. We played in the evenings over a period of several weeks with paper pieces on a chess board tweaking the rules, but it kept coming back to the same simple set of rules, spread 1 square, twinning the piece, or jump 1 square, without twinning, and capture (or infect) the nearly pieces. Once the game was put on the computer it was easy to see it worked well, control of the board could change very rapidly and often came down to setting yourself up correctly for the last few moves.
