Amazons Board Game Set

cults3d

This is a set of pieces to play the abstract strategy board game called Amazons. The rules are simple: It is usually played on a 10x10 board but other sizes may be used. Each team has 4 amazons that move as chess queens. The initial placement of the amazons can be seen in the photos above. Each turn a player moves their amazon, then they place a marker which moves as a chess queen from the end position of the amazon's movement. This marker blocks all movement into or over that square. A piece is captured when it can no longer move. When all of one team's amazon's are captured they have lost the game. You will need a total of 8 amazons, 4 per team color. You will also need NxN - 8 markers to be able to play until a victory or stalemate. So for a 10x10 board you will need 100 - 8 = 92 markers to be able to play until a stalemate, 56 for an 8x8 board and so on.
