ABSTRACT:
The invention is a game between opposing players having sets of 30 pieces, each set consisting of one capital, two generals, eleven ambients, nine regulars and seven patrols. Each set arranged in identical starting formation on a rectangular game board of 126 checkered square. Each of the sets has one capital which occupies the central square of the end row of 9 squares, and which can be captured by any opposing-set piece that approaches within unobstructed capturing range, and which once captured cannot be retaken, and which cannot itself move or capture any piece but must be protected by the pieces of its own set. All of the other pieces can optionally move, capture opposing-set pieces, or be captured. Each such piece has its allowable range of movement and range of ability to capture other pieces, depending on its type. A piece moves by travelling from one square to another. A capturing piece always displaces the captured piece from its square, and the captured piece is excluded from the field of play. The objective in winning the game is to be the first to capture the capital of the opposing set, while successfully preventing the capture of the capital of one's own set. The players use single alternate moves to proceed with the game. The maximum range of capture is always less than the maximum range of movement for each moveable piece.
