INTRODUCTION
The term "video game" has evolved over the decades from a purely
entertainment. There have been millions of games created in the past 58 years,
the first of which is a video game called “Pong”. Throughout the years, video

The game is designed for 2 players and scorer, who jot down the score.
The board is similar to a checkerboard but with a twist. All white tiles on the
board have a mathematical symbol which dictates the operation that will be used
when a player's piece captures the opponent's piece. It has numbers labeled 0-7

play, the differences are: for every pieces there are corresponding values
minute allotted time to each player to make a move, when capturing the
opponent's piece. The mathematical operation used depends where the player’s
piece lands after the capture. The game ends when the player resigns; the 20
minute game period lapsed; the player has no more pieces; repetitive moves; the
opponent chips is cornered or the last opponent’s piece is captured. Final score
determined by adding all score in scoresheet and the remainder pieces in board.
To be able to win in Damath the one who score highest is the winner while in Sci-
Playing game of the damath and sci-dama required board and pieces for
every variation, this is the one problem of traditional play; players need to bring
board and pieces to be able to play with the corresponding pieces for every
variation.
The proponents then decide to propose a game that will be able to solve
the problems of traditional way of playing damath and sci – dama. The proposed
Board Game will be having factors like: adding a twist with a new trend in

The proposed study also known as Damath and Sci – Dama is an offline

one device menu is similar in the menu of damath menu and sci – dama menu
which is also the same types as single player, the difference is the wireless menu
is can connect two android phones via LAN wifi while in one device menu is can
play the game in one device. The third menu is the how to play menu, it is
where player know how to play the game in different types of damath and sci –
