A strategy game inspired by systems thinking.
Imagine your position is a distributed system.
Pieces are services
Imagine chess designed by a distributed systems architect: every piece is a service.
Every piece is a service.
Your kings are the controlling nodes.
Supporting pieces form the communication layer that keeps everything connected.
As long as a group remains connected to at least one king, it stays active.
Break that connection and the pieces remain on the board — but they can no longer participate until communication is restored.
Every move changes the dependency graph.
You constantly think about:
- critical nodes
- redundancy
- resilience
- single points of failure
- alternative paths
- topology changes
Winning is not only about attacking.
It is about designing a system that survives disruption while finding the weak links in your opponent's architecture.
Wataku transforms strategy into systems engineering.
