Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
Push Fight is an abstract game, similar to Abalone and Roundabouts.
Each player gets five pieces on an oddly-shaped board with 26 spaces. Each turn, you move up to two pieces as many spaces horizontally or vertically as you like, so long as the piece does not leave the board or jump another piece. You must then push one of your square pieces one space in any direction, pushing all other pieces along the same line. The piece with which you just pushed cannot, itself, be pushed on your opponent’s next turn.
The object is to knock one of your opponent’s pieces off of the board. $20 plus $8 domestic shipping.

Now that’s an interesting looking abstract, the first I’ve ever wanted to try just on sight alone. It also reminds me of Othello, a game at which my old pal used to tank me with depressing regularity. ;)
