http://checkers-demo.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/
-
Tablut is played on a board of 9×9 squares.
-
There are 25 pieces: a king and his eight defenders, and sixteen attackers. These are placed in the shape of a cross with serifs, as in the diagram.
-
Pieces move any distance orthogonally, not landing on nor jumping over other pieces on the board.
-
No piece may land on the central square, called the "castle", not even the king once he has left it.
-
A piece other than the king is captured when it is surrounded orthogonally on two opposite squares by enemies. The king can pair up with a defender for the purpose of capturing attackers.
-
A piece may also be captured between an enemy and the empty castle.
-
When in the castle, the king is captured by surrounding him on four orthogonal sides with attackers.
-
When stood beside the castle, the king may be captured by surrounding him on the remaining three sides with attackers.
-
Elsewhere on the board, the king is captured as other pieces.
-
If the king when in the castle is surrounded on three sides by attackers, and on the fourth by a defender, the defender may be captured by surrounding it between an attacker and the king.
-
The king wins the game on reaching any square at the edge of the board. The attackers win if they capture the king.
-
The game is drawn if a position is repeated, if a player cannot move, or if the players otherwise agree it.
