Details

The players have three types of game pieces, which they place on an initially empty board of 8 x 18 spaces. The aim is to capture as many of the opponent's pieces as possible. The pieces have different points of value and brewing power. The beetle (scarab) has 1 point, the cat god 3 points and the falcon 6 points. The beetle may move 1 space in any direction, the cat may be moved two spaces in a straight line or in a horse jump. The falcon may move three squares in a straight line, or an extended horse jump. There are three types of moves to choose from: setting up, moving or capturing a piece. The first person to reach 60 points is the winner. The players can make other arrangements, for example set a fixed playing time. The person with the most points wins.
