Win by moving a stone to the opposite corner space to be promoted to a king and then move the king back to your starting corner. Both players have six pieces. The White player starts from the lower left corner and can move his stones north, northeast and east and capture by replacement north and east. A king moves to the opposite directions. The Black player starts from the upper right corner and can move stones west, southwest and south and capture west and south and kings to the opposite directions. Captures are not mandatory. The player can either move a piece or drop a new one on his own corner space. This game is a variant of Tyska Torget and was inspired by W.D.Troyka's outstanding games Ugly Duck, Breakthrough and Zonesh. Gamla Torget is a plaza in my beloved Norrköping, Sweden. |
