Genres: Simulation, Strategy

Price: 3.99

A version of an old Norse board game called Kings Table. The game has black and white teams like chess but each team has different pieces and a different raison detre. The white team has a total of 13 pieces the most important one being Odin the King who starts in the centre of the 10x10 board and moves in the same way as a chess King whereas black has 20 pawns and four other pieces. White wins if Odin can reach one of the corner squares; black wins if it surrounds Odin on all 4 sides. The pawns actually move the same way as chess queens but pieces are captured by surrounding them on 2 sides (although some special pieces must be surrounded on 3 sides). The specials are chosen from the selection at the start of the game and have a variety of abilities some borrowed from chess. The presentation of this interpretation is similar to Battle Chess with bold 3D graphics and lots of animation.
