Details

Small (travel) version of a nice strategy game. The box contains 1 game board, 30 pawns in 5 colors and 2 kings (white and black). The object of the game is to encircle the opponent's king so that it cannot move anymore. At the start of the game, the board is empty. Only the two kings are in the designated place. Whoever starts will be drawn. The first player moves his king one square in any direction (horizontal, vertical or diagonal). The king may not jump over other pawns. It may only be moved to open spaces. After the player has moved the king, he places a colored pawn on the board. Move after move, the kings' freedom of movement decreases, until one of the two cannot be moved first. This one loses the game. Variant: If there are two pawns of the same color in a row next to the enclosed king (horizontal, vertical or diagonal), the king may move the pawn next to him to an empty space and move to the vacant space.
