This game is played on a grid of water.
Your men aboard the boats must maneuver to capture the enemy
or walk onto the opposite beach.
They can do this by moving the boats they control, or by moving around on the boats.
Men can only move one square at a time and can't swim.
They can also go on and across the land (yellow area of sand).
Boats can move one square for each person there is to row.
If after a boat move your boat touches the center of another boat, this other
boat will sink (disappear). This is called 'ramming'.
Boats can also be turned if there is room.
The turning is executed by moving the bottom or right end of the boat.
A boat belongs to whoever is on it.
If both players have men on the boat, it can't be moved or turned.
Captures of men are made by sandwiching on enemy man between two of yours (orthogonally or diagonally).
The game is won when the enemy only has one person left or when you step on the opponent's land
on the other side of the board.
Variants:
Variant 2 allows multiple capture: any consecutive line of enemy men sandwiched between your will be captured.
Note that there is an alternative piece set. |
