+xarchon (fantasy-themed board game)
+
+Archon: The Light and the Dark is a 1983 video game developed by Free
+Fall Associates and one of the first five games published by Electronic
+Arts. It's similar in concept to Chess, except that landing on another
+player's piece results in an arcade-style fight to determine the victor.
+
+xarchon is a rewrite of Archon and Archon II: Adept for modern systems.
+Single-player against the computer is supported, as well as multiplayer
+on the same computer or over the network.
+
+xarchon uses esd (the Enlightened Sound Daemon) for audio. esd must be
+running for the game to make sound (e.g. started by ~/.xinitrc, or by
+your desktop environment, or manually by typing "esd &" in a terminal).
