## Description
Trebuchet is a two-player abstract strategy game played on a hexagonal board. Each player controls five Stones, while the twelve Men are shared. The objective is to use the Men to sling your Stones across the board and destroy three of your opponent’s Stones before they destroy yours. On each turn, a player can take one or two actions: move a Man or move a Stone. Men move in a straight line through any number of empty spaces without jumping over other pieces. Ownership of a Man is determined by adjacent Stones: if only one player has a nearby Stone, only they can move it; if both players have nearby Stones, no one can move it; if neither player has nearby Stones, both can move it. Stones move in a straight line for a distance equal to the number of adjacent Men, potentially passing over other pieces. The strategy lies in positioning Men to extend the reach of your Stones while limiting your opponent’s ability to do the same. The game ends when a player captures three of the opponent’s Stones or if the same board position repeats three times, resulting in a draw.
