Arimaa () is a two-player strategy board game that was designed to be playable with a standard chess set and difficult for computers while still being easy to learn and fun to play for humans. It was invented between 1997 and 2002 by Omar Syed. Arimaa is a complex abstract strategy game and after decades of play, a body of theory has developed among high level players, along with a few books on the game. Arimaa has also developed a community on the internet, where tournaments are played.
