Archon is a chess inspired board game, where you fight to conquer several control points on a board using various different pieces, each with their own set of characteristics. Whenever two pieces come in contact with one another, a fight is initiated and whatever piece survives the fight gets to stay on the board. So the concept of the game is pretty fun, and I guess the two player mode can be enjoyable, but fighting against the CPU is a pain due to the pretty glitchy movement.

So all in all, the game is decent, but nothing especially impressive.

(Journey #278 was suspended, hence the skip in numbers. It will be back as soon as I get it working)
