About the Game

There are 30 game-pieces for each player and 11 castles. The gameboard is divided into three sections: homes and center section.

Object of the game is to capture four castles (among those of the central section and the other side) or 28 pawns of Your opponent.

In his turn player moves one of his pieces, horizontally, vertically or diagonally. In his first move, a pawn can move two squares after that only one square. Additionally a pawn can jump over another pawn as long as the square behind that pawn is free. Multiple jumps are allowed and all enemy pawns are captured this way and removed from the deck. A pawn can capture a maximum of five enemy pieces, and his movement ends after the fifth piece is captured.

A castle is conquered when it is surrounded by three of Your pawns. This castle is then removed from the grid and is held near the box.
