REX is a board game for Windows, macOS and Linux where players take turns moving one piece at a time, eliminating their enemy's pieces when they land on them.

There are eight computer opponents to defeat, and two people can play against each other by taking turns with the mouse. The computer opponent's AI was written by chess programming expert Marty Hirsch. The game has been translated into native English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Russian, Italian, Polish, Urdu and Dutch.
