One board, two pawn armies, and one goal: break through to the other side.

ABOUT THE GAME

About Breakthrough

Breakthrough is an abstract strategy game played on an 8 × 8 board. Mint and Coral start with sixteen pawns each. On every turn, choose whether to support your formation, capture a rival or open a route through the defense. A single pawn reaching the opponent’s back row wins the game. This Zarocer edition offers three AI levels and a two-player mode on the same device. Hints and undo help you learn; assisted and restored games remain local. Change between eleven in-game languages without restarting your match.

How to play

Mint moves first. Select a pawn, then a highlighted square. Move one square straight or diagonally forward into an empty square. Capture only by moving diagonally forward. Captures are optional. Win by reaching the opposing back row or capturing every opposing pawn. Use arrow keys to navigate and Enter or Space to select. Escape pauses.
