I'd like to know what the game even is. Is it necessary for the 3 screens to be rotating at all times? Perhaps that is just part of the challenge.
If they ever explain the rules in the show, they haven't sunk in for me. It just looks like a light show.
As far as I'm aware they never explain the rules of Stratagema. I feel pretty comfortable saying it seems like a terrible esport to spectate. You've got
Basically, take a minimalist strategy game like Go and an RTS game and stick them together in a way that uses the strengths of neither. That's Stratagema. Don't play this game, it's dumb.
(Minor edit, after thinking this over a little it's possible the red pieces are neutral objectives. I don't think that correlates as well with the finger movements, but whatever. That'd just make Stratagema 3d Liquid War with mario kart powerups tacked on)
They should've just kept adding more layers to chess.
The weird 6 layer chess they have is just as baffling.
Edit: I did find this page though that explains it in great detail. http://meder.spacechess.org/3dschach/chess3d.htm
