GAMES INCLUDED
Jungle Chess
You must use strategy to keep your pieces from being captured or
getting caught
in traps in the jungle. Each player begins with one each of the
following
pieces: rat, cat, wolf, dog, panther, tiger, lion, and elephant. These
pieces
have values of 1 through 8, respectively. You win the game by
moving one
of your pieces into your opponent’s den or by capturing all of your
opponent’s pieces.
Tablut
Tablut
is part of the Tafl family of games, played in Northern Europe from
around 400
AD until it was later replaced by modern versions of chess. Tablut is
perhaps
the best documented version of these types of games. In 1732, Carolus
Linnaeus
recorded the rules and a drawing of the board in his journal while
travelling
through the area. It is played on a 9x9 board. The object:
Black's
goal is to move the king to one of the 4 dark corner squares, and
white's goal
is to capture the king.
Surakarta
The strategy game includes circular paths which loop around the corners
of the
board. In order to make a capture, a piece must loop around one or more
of the
circular paths before moving onto a space occupied by an enemy piece.
