'''Gwelmwy''' ("towers" in [[Phyrean language|Phyrean]]) is a two-player abstract board game originating from [[Nemmark]]. It is played on an 8x8 board with the corner tiles removed.

==Gameplay==

=== Objective ===
The objective of the game is capturing the opponent's towers. If a player is left with no towers or is only left with one man, they lose.

=== Movement ===
The towers (''gwelmwy'', singular ''gwelm'') remain immobile while the men (''tewfyn(wr)'' "soldier(s)") ride orthogonally, and capture by putting two of each other on opposite orthogonal sides of a piece.

===Rules===
# White begins.
# Multicapturing is allowed.
# Putting a piece between two opponent pieces is unallowed as it would result in an immediate capture.
# However, putting a piece between two opponent pieces is allowed ''if'' there's an opportunity for capture.
# Pieces can also be captured in an event where they have no more legal moves, such as being trapped in a corner.
# Towers are colour-agnostic and can be used to capture by either player.
# A game where there are no productive valid moves left (i.e. capturing moves) ends in either a draw if none of the towers have been captured, or a loss for the player with the least towers.
