RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to get 4 of their pieces to the opposite side of the board and back. Layout the board and each player sets up their 5 colored pieces behind their starting line in their starting zone with each pieces pointed end, which indicates the pieces direction, pointing towards the other end of the board. Pick a player to go first, then turns alternate. On your turn, you must move 1 of your 5 pieces.
Pieces move in a straight line the number of spaces as indicated by the number of dots at its starting space at end of the board directly behind it. Dots are located on both sides of the space so you can see them no matter which side of the board you are on. Only use one side of the dots, do not add them together. Unless prevented from doing so a piece always moves its entire movement. When a piece crosses the board, it stops at the end and turns around and stops, even if it had more available movement left. Pieces that turn around then have a new movement speed. When a piece makes it back to the start, it is removed from the board.
Pieces move over opponent’s pieces that are in the way and stop at the very next space beyond that piece, even if they had more moves remaining. Additionally, the opposing piece that was jumped is returned to the starting point of the current leg of the journey it is on, so either the start space or the turnaround space. If your piece ends on the same space as another piece, then your piece goes to the next available space beyond that piece, sending back all the opponent’s pieces it travels over.
The first player to get 4 pieces across the board then back again, wins.

A variation: If you jump over a piece, it gets sent back to the starting position, never the turn-around position. You have to get all 5 pieces back to the starting space turned around.

Kinda look like a pirate like battle game about using "ships" (game pieces) conquer the "island"(other side)" and "jump" is like sunking the oppoment's ship "down".

That would also make sense with the movement speed reversing on the way home: If the wind’s favoring you in one direction, it’s against you in the other. But I’m thinking it’s not age of sail pirate ships (which attacked with broadsides) so much as triremes (which attacked by ramming).

Like how in studying the rules for a tafl game called Thud (wherein Discworld Dwarves and Trolls vie for control of a stone), I realized that in Checkers, the pieces aren't jumping but trampling.

@THEDeathWizard87 Жыл бұрын

It also makes sense since the game’s name sounds kinda like “squadron”

I have an idea for card game to be in your video if you want it. I can tell the rules on mail or in discord, and in Poland sometime ago it was the most popular card game that they were playing.

Quixo and Quarto are also from Gigamic

@adrianwoodruff1885 Жыл бұрын

They are well known for their wooden board games.

@HatterTobias Жыл бұрын

@@adrianwoodruff1885 Those wooden games are called the "Modern Classics", it's called that because Gigamic used to make several abstract board games, mostly combinatorial (no luck at all in the game) in a series called "Classics" series, here's some of the games in that series => Quoridor Quixo Quarto Pylos Gyges Skybridge Quads Inside Eclipse Batik (this is one of the few non combinatorial games in the series, because it focuses on dexterity) etc., the 4 games at the top are also part of the "Modern Classics", which also include Quantik, Squadro and a new game called Qawale (to be released on Oct. 5)
