As part of our course we altered our game of choice. I had Hnefatafl as my game of choice and I had decided to only make a few alterations.
It would be a normal 9x9 board of Hnefatafl but with the use of a dice as movement. The dice serves as a means of movement within the game and whatever the number may be denotes how many spaces the players can move.
If players cannot move the numbers shown then they must move the next highest number of spaces. Game play ends when either the King has been captured or the King manages to reach the one of four corners on the board.
Rules are as follows:
- Players must decide who rolls first.
- Dice serves as a means of movement.
- Pieces can only move in an orthogonal direction (Horizontally and vertically, not diagonally)
- The number on the dice denotes how many spaces to move. If they are unable to move due to space restriction, they must move to the highest possible number.
- Any piece can move as long as it has a space to move to.
- Players must surround a piece on two sides (adjacent) before they can remove it.
- The opponent must surround the King on four sides before he can be removed.
- The King can move the same as the other pieces on the board.
This later went on to be included in my design document and you can see the full post in my blog.
