'''Summary and goal of thegame'''

Two or four players compete in a shared, cross-shaped board, formed by a central part 8x8 square
and four 8x2 “arms”, attached on each side of the 8x8 square.
The object for each player is to capture an adversary Castle, an immobile piece of its own color
on one of the 4 arms of theboard (facing for two players).
To achieve this each player will make use of 8 pieces of his own color, initially placed in one of
the arms of thecross, around his Castle. The Castle of each player sits in the nearest right
corner of the board.
The first player that captures an adversary Castle (or conquers the las tpiece of one colour) wins,
thus ending game.

'''Turn action: movement and capture'''

On his turn, a player can move one of his square-shaped pieces. All the pieces (but the Castle,
which as said before can not be moved) are equal to each other. Each of them can move in 4 diferent
ways, according to the side of the piece facing “north”, north being defined as “forward”
from the POV of the owner of the piece. So for example “north” for the player sitting on the east
side of table will be westward, wile for the player sitting on the north side of the table it will be
southward, and so on.

'''On his turn the player can move one of his pieces in one of these 2 ways:'''

- just rotate the piece in place (thus changing the piece movement
type for the next time he will decide to move it);

- move the piece and then (optionally) rotate it;

A player can '''capture''' other players' pieces by moving one of
his piece on a square occupied by an opponent's piece.

Pieces
can '''never''' “go through” or “jump over” other pieces, both of
the same or different colours.

Each piece can be '''oriented''' in four different ways (one per each
side of the piece) enabling it to four different kind of movement.

The active roles is the one facing '''“north”'''.

'''These are the four roles a piece can assume:'''

- '''Warrior''': it moves 1 square and can't go backwards, in other words it can
move to one of the 5 squares adjacent to it (W, NW, N, NE, E);

- '''Blade''':
it moves 1 or 2 square “forward” (N);

- '''Catapult''':
it can move up to 3 squares diagonally going only forward, as
usual (NE, NW);

- '''Shield''':
the only role that can go backwards, it can move up to 2 squares
going South or just 1 square going diagonally (SW or SE).

'''Begining of the game'''

The first player to move will be the one opening the table. Then it will be the player on his left the
one to move, and so on, going clockwise.

'''We advise you''' not to distract from what the other players do: you can lose the game even if an
enemy don't conquer your Castle ('''one wins, all others lose''').
