Xerxes (1973)

Giới thiệu

Chinese Checkers with a fun twist.

Named after Persian king Xerxes, two players deploy 24 figures each on a 15x19 board. Either in one of three suggested starting formations, or (advanced) in secret.

Pawns are either moved one space (diagonally as well), or can repeatedly jump over one unit. Jumped enemy units are removed. Once the lines break open, a single move can create havoc among the opponent!

The goal is to occupy a specified point (the enemy's camp) behind his lines.

On the back of the game board (exept the last,third edition) you can use the same components to play Frundsberg where playing pieces can be placed anywhere on your side of the board behind a screen.
