AB Selfo is defined as a class of abstract strategy board games subscribed to the category ofconnection games. Its name derives from the phenomenon of self-organization (i.e. theincrease in a system’s organization without external guidance), since during the gamethe sets of pieces might flow in a coordinated way as they step on the board. Despite itsvery simple definition (“group all your pieces by moving in turns to adjacent cells”)complex self-organization processes takes place under concrete circumstances (abalanced distribution of pieces and similar levels of expertise in the players), and are theresult of abrupt and deep changes in the tactics. Since a big number of variants havebeen found to meet the conditions for self-organization, the particular values given tothe traditional parameters that define a game (i.e., board tiling, size and initial position,or number of pieces and players) are not so relevant. The Selfo class of connectiongames is defined, instead, by the interrelations among parameters in order to favor selforganization.
