ANARCHY is a cross between Othello and Life. The object is to change all the squares in the pattern to the same color using the fewest number of transformations.
A network is formed from variously colored nodes. Each node sends its color to its neighbors in the network. If only one color comes into a square, it takes that color. If two colors come in, they cancel and the square changes to the third color. Each time you change a node, all the colors are recalculated.
