I don't understand the capturing mechanic? Playing against the bot always leads to sudden capture of dozens of units at once. How and why does this happen? Are you able to surround units or get bonus turns for walling a unit? The Learn page is a little unclear on this.
Source for calling it "almost unknown"? I'm from Europe and this game is totally known. I had a university project to program one in C. The bot especially was fun to implement.
This is a traditional game called "Voyna Virusov" or "Virus War". There is a version of it on Pencil and Paper Games with clearer rules, and some background history: http://www.papg.com/show?5SB0
The game is fun, had a very interesting match with some random person from the other side of the world, but it would be great if I could create a private lobby just to play this game with a friend over and over again :)

Also "unknown in Europe" then explains the game is played in Ukraine... I understand some level of clickbait is needed to catch attention but that straight up lying here. I expected a game from Asia, Africa or South America.

Thanks - I was struggling to understand the game explanation on the original site.
*The fact that the pencil symbol controls the number of moves per turns, which was 3 by default, confused my learning process for a good 10 minutes as I had no idea what was going on.

If you and your friend both change the preferences a bit, e.g., grid size, it's very likely that you will match. It's more of a workaround though, I should absolutely put some effort into creating a lobby.
