Show HN: GeoChess – open-source geography strategy game

The rules are really simple. Players take turns claiming a country that shares a land border with the current one. You lose if you have no valid moves left.

I'd appreciate any feedback.

I expected the countries to be a painted when they are selected.

Thanks for your feedback!

If they are visually selected on the map during the game, I thought it would be too easy.

Maybe I can add an option to let users see which countries have already been used on the map.
