About the Game

After the King's death two rival fractions compete for the Throne which is situated at the center of a 13-cell Castle.

The board is hexagonal with a Castle at its centre. There's a sufficient amount of checkers. There are two players, Black and White, who each direct an army of men that grows by placement, while the men also move as singles or in line, and may capture conditionally.

Play starts on an empty board and men are entered one by one outside the Castle and must organise themselves to enter it. Inside the Castle the fight goes on as both try to capture the Throne by occupying and holding two cells that are adjacent to it on opposite sides.
