Both players take turns placing their five pieces on the board. When done, the pieces are can be moved orhtogonally to the next square. Enemy pieces are captured by jumping. Capturing is obligatory. Multiple capture jumps must be made if possible. The goal is to capture all enemy pieces or move your last piece on the red square. I've been trying to create a game having as simple as possible rule set and board but still having a lot depth and strategy. This is as simple as it gets. Still the game is very challenging and the computer opponent is hard to beat. The name 'Vilbergen' and the 70-ties esthetics of the board come from the suburb of Norrkoping, Sweden, where I used to live. |
