Position -- Rules

Aim

The aim of this game is simply to get two of your pieces to the other side of the board.

Equipment

You will need :

• 1 Printed Board

  • This should be a single A4 page
  • The printer file contains 4 boards

• 12 counters

  • 6 counters for each player

Setting Up the Game

Place the board lengthways between the two players.

Both players place all of their counters, 1 in each space, on the row that is closest to them.

How to play

Players take turns to move 1 piece according to the following rules.

• If possible, you must move it exactly the number of spaces marked on the start space.
• If it reaches the edge of the board, stop at the edge.
• You must move it in one of the four orthogonal directions (N,S,E,W).
• If it lands on an opponents piece, capture it and remove it from the board.
• You may not land it on your own pieces
• You may move it over other pieces.

'6' is a special space. If you move a piece over a '6' you may change direction on that 6, again to any orthogonal direction, even back the way it came.

Ending the Game

If at the end of your turn, you have 2 pieces on your opponents start row, you win.

Or

If you take all but 1 of your opponents pieces, you win.
