Description

Half-way between checkers and solitaire

The goal of the game is to be the last emperor, i.e. to place a marble in the center spot of the board while your opponent(s) are unable to overthrow you.

Each turn a player can move one of his marbles to either the next spot towards the center of the board or on either side of its current spot. A marble can never be moved backwards (i.e. towards the edge of the board). Marbles are eliminated the same way as in checkers, but can also be blocked in "wells"; the board is rotated under certain circumstances to modify the wells.

Content:

1 game board with perforated rotating disc
