About

Emergo Tutor is a classic Mac implementation of Emergo, a draughts-family board game invented by Christian Freeling in which captured pieces are not removed but stacked under the capturing piece, producing tall columns whose top color decides ownership. The tutor presents the rules in playable form on the Macintosh.The game it teachesEmergo descends from the international draughts tradition but introduces a stacking rule: jumped pieces are placed beneath the jumper rather than removed, so material on the board grows in height instead of shrinking in count.Tutorial focusThe Mac program is framed as a tutor, intended to let a learner work through Emergo's movement, capture, and stack-handling rules interactively rather than from a printed rulebook alone.OriginThe underlying game is part of the family of abstract strategy games designed by Dutch inventor Christian Freeling, several of which received small-format Macintosh tutor releases during the classic Mac era.
