Tenés Empanadas Graciela (TEG) is a free and open-source turn-based strategy game available in several popular Linux distributions. It is based on the board game TEG, which itself is based on the strategy board game Risk.
Gameplay
Using a server, several players can fight for world domination and chat with each other. Maps are used as battlefields. The game is available in 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.
TEG was an early supporter of the FOSS multiplayer client-server system GGZ Gaming Zone.<ref>TEG on dev.ggzgamingzone.org</ref><ref>GGZ Talk on LinuxTag (2005)</ref>
