Rules

  • Move one of your pieces like a chess queen: any distance in a straight or diagonal line, never through anything.
  • From where it lands, fire a shot the same way. The shot square is blocked for the rest of the round.
  • If you cannot move any piece on your turn, you lose the round. Every turn blocks a square, so rounds always end.
  • Based on the Game of the Amazons (Walter Zamkauskas, 1988).
