Amazons is a young board game with simple rules and a high branching factor, which makes it a suitable test-bed for planning research. This paper considers the computational complexity of Amazons puzzles and restricted Amazons endgames. We first prove the NP-completeness of the Hamilton circuit problem for cubic subgraphs of the integer grid. This result is then used to showthat solving Amazons puzzles is an NP-complete task and determining the winner of simple Amazons endgames is NP-equivalent.
