Each set also includes 6 Bombs and 1 Flag, but these pieces are not ranked and they do not move.
Only the army pieces may move and attack. Choose your army color. Since there are two sets, you and your opponent will each have to choose a color before you can set up the game. Try choosing at random by holding two different color pieces in each hand so your opponent cannot see them and ask your opponent to choose one. Whatever color your opponent chooses will be his or her color for the game. Put up the fortress screen. Before you set you your army pieces, you will need to set up the fortress screen to prevent your opponent from seeing how you are positioning your pieces.
Do not remove the fortress screen from the board until you and your opponent have finished setting up the board. Set up your pieces. As you set up your pieces, make sure that they are facing you and not your opponent. After you have set up your pieces, you are ready to play. Part 2. Understand how gameplay works. You may not do both. If you find yourself in a position where you cannot move or attack, then you have lost the game and must announce your defeat to your opponent.
Move your pieces. Take turns moving your pieces in vertical or horizontal directions. Pieces may not move in a diagonal direction. Pieces may only move one space, except for the Scouts which can move an unlimited distance. Just keep in mind that because only scouts can move more than one space per turn, moving a scout more than one space will reveal its identity to your opponent and may cause your opponent to attack that piece.
They also may not occupy the same space as another piece. You may only attack pieces that are directly next to your pieces. They may not be a space away or diagonal to one of your pieces. They must be right next to each other in a vertical or horizontal direction.
Whatever piece has the highest ranking wins the fight. Remove the losing piece from the board. If both pieces have the same rank, then remove both pieces from the board. Place captured pieces in the tray as you play. Doing so will help to keep them organized for future games. Place the winning piece on the space that was occupied by the losing piece.
Observe the special attack privileges of certain pieces. Some pieces have special attack privileges that make them capable of attacking more powerful pieces. Make sure that you observe these special attack privileges as you play the game. If the Spy is attacked by the Marshal, then the Spy is captured instead. Scouts can move and attack on the same turn. No other pieces can do both in the same turn Miners can disarm Bomb pieces.
All other pieces must be removed from the board if they attack a Bomb piece. But you may also win the game if your opponent reaches a point where he or she cannot make any more moves. Part 3. Protect your flag with Bombs. However, this strategy may fail if your opponent uses a miner to defuse these Bombs and then captures your Flag.
If you do surround your Flag with Bombs, make sure that you have some high ranking, moveable pieces nearby to take out any approaching pieces. Keep your Miners in play. Since surrounding the Flag piece with Bombs is a popular strategy, you will benefit from keeping some of your Miner pieces in play. Position some Scouts in the first two rows. Make some higher ranking pieces available for movement.
Although you do not want to have all of your high-ranking pieces up front, it is wise to have a few in your first two rows so that you can use them if necessary. Pay attention to the positions of pieces that do not move. The pieces are either purchased outright or both players bid on the pieces they would like to use.
After the initial setup, three of your pieces swap places with three of your opponent's pieces. Your entire piece setup is completely random!
A dice roll determines how many changes you can make after the random setup is complete.
