About Thalamus, from BoardGameGeek:
Thalamus is an intense abstract strategy game where players are aiming to eliminate their opponents by navigating and manipulating an ever-changing board that is filled with dangerous Deflector Disks.
Players take turns utilising one of the six available actions: MOVE, PUSH, PULL, SHOOT, ROTATE, or REMOVE to trap opponents and avoid being eliminated themselves.
Thalamus has simple yet strategically rich and exciting gameplay designed to invoke feelings of traditional abstract strategy games.
