Tenés Empanadas Graciela (TEG) is a turn-based strategy game distributed by several popular Linux distributions. The idea for this free and open-source software program came from the board game TEG, which itself is based on the strategy board game Risk but differs in many aspects of the rules.
Gameplay
Using a server, several players can fight in maps for world domination and chat with one another. Various maps are used as battlefields in the game. The game is available in several languages including Spanish, German, French and Polish.
History
In 1996, Argentine software developer Ricardo "riq" Quesada started developing the game and released it under the GNU GPL-2-0-only. He stopped working on it for a few years but brought the project back to life in early 2000. Other developers, graphic artists, and translators subsequently joined the project located at SourceForge servers.
TEG was an early supporter of the FOSS multiplayer client-server system GGZ Gaming Zone.
In around 2014, the project was moved from Sourceforge to GitHub.
Reception
Tenés Empanadas Graciela was reviewed as a notable Risk clone several times by free and open-source software associated media outlets, such as Linux Journal and Linux Magazine. In 2007, Linux.com reviewed Tenés Empanadas Graciela again as a notable Risk clone. The Linux Game Tome lists the game with 4.2 of 5 stars.
The game was reviewed in 2012 by republica.com.
Versions and ports
The game is widely distributed by several Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo Linux, and Arch Linux, and ported to other operating systems such as macOS.
There is also an Argentine online version of the game called WebTeg which allows users to play with just a web browser.
