Venari 2020

An abstract strategic battle to capture your opponent's soldiers!

In Venari, your goal is to capture two of your opponent’s soldiers.

The rules are very simple:

You have 4 soldiers on the board. Each turn, you choose to move 1 to 4 spaces. One of your soldiers moves, space to space, the chosen distance along the paths. Try and trap your opponent’s soldier so they can’t move, and capture them. Capture two soldiers to win the round.

However, there are some restrictions to consider:

You select how far to move on the Movement Track using your token, so there will only be 2 of the 4 options available at a time. You must move exactly the number of spaces selected. You cannot move through any occupied spaces, and you cannot backtrack and retrace your steps within a turn.

If at the end of a turn a soldier has no valid moves (because every adjacent space is occupied), they have been captured.

If you capture 2 soldiers, you win the round.

Win two rounds, and you are the victor!
