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.
