Game setup

The basic form for two people is played on two plug-in tableau components 18 with 30 by 30 squares or "negative" 8 connectors.

Each player has 30 figures from sub-figure 17 , 25 with the same symbol figures 14 , 16 or "soldiers" of the same color and a larger or higher individual symbol figure 13 , 15 , the "emperor" on another same sub-figure 17 , 25 of his color and a dice 24 .

As a basic set-up, each player places or puts his 31 game characters with their "positive" 5 , 10 , 11 ( 12 ) foot connectors on the "negative" 6 , 7 ( 8 ) connectors of game board 18 ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ) in the following symmetrically opposite formations:
Arrow shape 19
30 game figures or "soldiers" 14 , 16 ( 17 or 25 ) form a row of 15 figures each on the 2 diagonals of the game panel element halves 18 from 15 by 15 plug connections from the lower left corner to the upper middle or right corner or from the lower right corner to the upper middle or left corner of the game table halves. Or M-shape 20
30 game figures or "soldiers" 14 , 16 ( 17 or 25 ) form a row of 8 figures each on the 2 diagonals of the game panel element halves 18 from 15 times 15 plug connections from the lower left corner field to the upper middle or right corner field or from the lower right Corner area to the upper middle or left corner area of the game table halves 18 , then 6 figures on the 2 diagonals of the game table element halves 18 from the upper left corner area to the lower middle or right corner area or from the upper right corner area to the lower middle or left corner area of the game table halves. The remaining two of the 30 figures are put on the 15 and 16 fields of the second row from below to close the "M" shape. Or fan shape 21
30 game figures or "soldiers" 14 , 16 ( 17 or 25 ) form a row of 5 figures on the lower edge row of the play table element 18 from 30 times 15 plug connections from the lower left or right corner field to the fifth field from the left or from the right, then a row of 5 figures on the second row from the bottom from the sixth field to the tenth field from the left or from the right, then a row of 5 figures on the third row from the bottom from the eleventh field to fifteenth field from the left or from the right, which closes the fan shape.

The "Kaiser" game figure 13 , 15 attached to a sub-figure 17 or 25 is attached to the fifteenth or sixteenth connector of the 30 opposite "negative" connectors 8 of the rows of edges of the game panel 18 in these basic forms.

Of course, other symmetrical basic configurations are also possible.

Course of the game

The first player rolls the die and places any of his characters after the dice straight and optional in one go into the field perpendicular to its basic set-up or diagonally as long as none of its own or opposing pawn occupies a field or the edge of the field is affected. The second player rolls the die and bets according to the same rules.

After rolling the dice while drawing any of your own pieces, each player has the following options

• - straight forward, back, to the right or to the left
• - straight diagonally to the front half left or half right
• - straight diagonally backwards half left or half right
  until the number of eyes rolled is met.

If an opposing or own character occupies a square in a straight line, he has the following options to choose from

• - Dodge at right or left sides
• - Dodge diagonally forward to the left or half right
• - Dodge diagonally backwards to the left or half to the right
• - reset in the same way
  until the number of eyes rolled is met.

If the edge of the field is touched vertically or diagonally, you have the following options

• - Dodge at right or left sides
• - Dodge diagonally backwards or forwards half-left or half-right
• - reset in the same way
  until the number of eyes rolled is met.

The point of the game is that every player should aim for the described moves with their own character d. H. Symbolic figure  (Soldier or emperor) to meet the opposing "emperor" with his own sub-figure and win the game.

To achieve this goal, he can if he is one of an opposing player after the described move options Game figure or "soldier" occupied field with a "soldier", whose symbolic figure put on top and its successful or attacking overall Place the game figure on the opposing sub-figure.

This process repeats itself when an opposing character or a "soldier" different color this occupied field with an opposing symbol figure at the top again hits.

The top sub-figure together with its symbolic figure of the same color on the Lace is always entitled to move on and the opposing sub-figure without leave the attached symbol figure as an occupied neutralized field, the all own and opposing "soldiers" must dodge after the described train options and that must not be skipped.

The "Kaiser" figures have extended and more variable train options to protect themselves better and to attack them to attack to increase enemy fields.

Only the two "Emperor" pawns can move on opposing moves Sub-figures alone or as the top sub-figure of several sub-figures alternating color without symbol symbol attached and neutralized Take fields with you when you skip them or as sub-figures in the target field use topping up.

Fields occupied and neutralized by sub-figures of your own color can be from the "emperors" are either skipped or they can avoid them according to the train options described.

The "emperors" can move opposing or own game pieces or Skip "soldiers" of your choice or avoid them.

If one of an opposing game figure with a symbol figure on the top or hit by a "soldier" field by an "emperor", the Symbolic figure to be put on the top and their sub-figure or theirs Sub-figures can be used to top up the "Kaiser" game figure.

The leader in the game is always the person whose "emperor" has the most sub-figures.  

The player can roll again if he rolls

• a) Roll a six dice
• b) has an "emperor" with at least 5 sub-figures and additional times for others 5 accumulated sub-figures.

Additional remarks:

• - The "Emperor" figures for a game can be the same with different colors or different symbols according to needs and preferences.
• - Basic configurations are also freely selectable, e.g. B. as arrow shape, M shape, Fan shape etc. with a different number of characters
• - All "negative" plug-in connections for sub-figures and game tableau can also be produced in a simplified form as "negative" plug-in connections without an outer ring with a round hole recessed in the middle by the amount of the missing outer ring.
  Correspondingly, all "positive" plug connections for sub-figures, play tableau and symbol figures can appear in a simplified form without an outer ring only with round pins.
• - Metals, wood, stone, etc. can also be used as material for the production of the game. will use.
