Black Elephant

 

10 working elephants are hard to control, the must be led over the working surface safely. In his turn one may move one’s own elephants: If an elephant moves forward onto a square with a tree trunk, he takes it up, an elephant may move orthogonally in all directions. One can jump over elephants in a forward move, the jumped over one may be turned afterwards. For each step of a Black Elephant one has to give back a tree trunk. An elephant in the cross point of two Black Elephants is captured and taken off the board. Black tree trunks block a square permanently. At the end one scores 1 for each tree trunk, 2 for each captured elephant and 3 for each own elephant in the finish zone.
