Ming

Ming is an original chess-like strategy game. It is played on a board with 7 x 7 squares.
Every player has 7 figures (1 emperor, 1 mandarin, 2 generals, 3 monks) that vary in height. In the course of a game, own and opponent's marbles are added to the figures. These define the distance a figure can move and in which way (diagonal or horizontal and vertical).

The game is won in one of three ways:
1) Conquer your opponents emperor;
2) Reach the opponents starting line or
3) Conquer seven marbles of your opponents colour.
