Oxelbergen is a two player game on an alquerque board. First the players drop their kings on any vacant point on the board. The kings move along the lines one step at the time and can capture enemy soldiers by jumping. Jumps are not mandatory and not multiple. After a move or a jump, player must drop one soldier onto any vacant point of the field. The game is lost by the player who is unable to move. Oxelbergen is a variant of Bernd Kienitz's game Isola with capture jumps and an Alquerque board. Oxelbergen is a suburb of my beloved Norrköping, Sweden. |
