Description

Lewthwaite's Game is a two player game played on a 5 by 5 grid. All but one tile on the grid is filled with game pieces. There are two colours, white and black corresponding to the players. Each turn a player can move one of his pieces horizontally or vertically to the empty spot on the board. The first player who cannot make a valid move loses the game.
