er et lille hurtigt spil.
Spillet kan spilles, hvis man har en kasse øl (helst tre forskellige slags øl-flasker i kassen).
Reglerne kan bl.a. findes her: http://www.gamerz.net/pbmserv/neutron.html#rules, men da de næsten er ulæselig pga. den hæslige baggrund, som er de gengivet her:
Neutron is a two-player game played on a 5x5 square board; White owns the five white pawns at the bottom of the board and Black owns the five black pawns at the top of the board. The neutron begins in the center and doesn't belong to anybody. Figure 1 shows the board at the beginning of the game. Notice the coordinates used for recording moves.
Code: Select all

Figure 1. Beginning of Neutron.
White always plays first and the turn alternate -- White, Black, White, Black, ... . As I said above, a turn has two parts. First the player moves the neutron; then he moves one of his own pawns. Now it is a little easier to see how a stalemate might occur. If Black can trap the neutron sorround it completely with with pawns -- then White will not be able to complete even the first part of his turn and so will lose the game. There is one exception to the two part turn rule. On White's very first turn only, White does not move the neutron. This helps even out the advantage White gets from moving first.
Every piece, even the neutron, moves in excactly the same way -- along a straight line horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. A piece stops moving just before it runs into another piece or the side wall; there is no jumping or capturing. But there is one unusual feature. When a piece moves, it must go as far as possible in the direction chosen. There is no stopping short. For example, White's pawn which begins on B5 can go to A4, B2, or E2, but it cannot stop on B3 or C4. Neutron pieces are a lot like politicians; they aren't smart enough to stop when they're ahead.
