About Blob Wars
Blob Wars is a deceptively cute strategy game about total board domination. You command a colony of blobs on a tiled arena, and every turn presents the same delicious choice: clone a blob into an adjacent cell, keeping your original in place, or jump it two cells away, covering more ground but leaving territory behind. When your blob lands next to enemy blobs, it converts them to your color on the spot — which means one clever move can flip half a cluster of enemy pieces in a single turn.
That conversion rule turns every match into a knife fight over positioning. Feeding your opponent a blob in the wrong spot hands them a mass conversion; holding a corner quietly builds an unassailable base. Against the computer it is a sharp tactical puzzle, and against a friend it becomes a proper mind game of baits and traps. Matches are short, the rules fit in two sentences, and the depth sneaks up on you the way it does in the best abstract board games.

How to Play Blob Wars
Select one of your blobs, then choose a highlighted destination cell. Moving one cell clones your blob — you keep the original and gain a new one. Moving two cells jumps the blob instead, vacating its old square. Any enemy blobs adjacent to your landing square instantly become yours.
The game ends when the board is full or a side cannot move; whoever owns more blobs wins. Favor cloning near enemy clusters to maximize conversions, and be careful where your jumps leave gaps for the enemy to fill.
Tips & Tricks for Blob Wars
- Clone rather than jump whenever both are possible — board presence wins endgames.
- Never land a lone blob beside a large enemy cluster; you are gifting them a conversion.
- Corners and edges are strong because they can only be attacked from limited directions.
- Count conversions before moving: the best square often flips three or four enemies.
- In the endgame, force your opponent into moves that fill the board in your favor.
Blob Wars — Player Questions
What is the difference between cloning and jumping?
A one-cell move clones your blob so you occupy both squares. A two-cell move jumps it, leaving the origin empty. Cloning grows your army; jumping covers distance.
How do I convert enemy blobs?
Simply land next to them. Every enemy blob adjacent to your arriving blob switches to your color immediately, which is why placement matters more than speed.
Is Blob Wars against the computer challenging?
Yes — the AI punishes careless placements quickly. If it feels easy, try winning by a larger margin or clearing the board with minimal jumps.
