Hello All,
This is the 2 player abstract strategy board game from Lakeside games 1979. There has been a few totally separate board games introduced with the same tile.
The board stands upright similar to Connect Four. Player 1, the Attacker, has 11 pieces lined up across the bottom row of the board and their goal is to try to get 1 of their pieces to top row. There are 2 boarders, 1 separating the top row from the middle and 1 separating the bottom row from the middle. Play 2, the Defender, has 4 Blocker pieces and 1 Striker piece trying to prevent player 1's piece from reaching the top row. Player 2's Blockers or Striker pieces can not cross either barrier.
No pieces may jump over other pieces. The Attacker piece can only move 1 space straight up the board per turn. No sideways, backwards or diagonal moves allowed. The Blocker piece my move in any of the 8 directions as many spaces they choose to, but can not land on any other pieces. Their job is to block the progress of the Attacker pieces. The Striker piece can move in all 8 directions also, but only 1 space. When the Striker piece lands on an Attacker piece, the Attacker piece is bumped off the board for the remainder of the game.
As mentioned previously, the Attacker wins if they can get 1 of their piece on the top row of the board. The Defender wins when they have captured all of the Attacker pieces or block the remaining Attacker pieces from making a move.
I never played this game before I wrote it and it seems to me the Attacker has the advantage. I would like to see a game play through were the Defender can beat the Attacker. It is suggested to switch rolls for alternating games. I left a copy of the rules below.
Hope you enjoy playing;
Donald
