Odin’s Table

 

Players use the powers of ancient Viking gods to win by being first to move three pieces into the opposing fortress. The six pieces start on the red squares of the board, your own fortress and you hold a deck of 27 cards of values between 0 and 9. You place 6 cards openly on the table, they are your starting deck, and then assign them face-down to the 6 columns of the board, the card determines the strength of the piece in that column. In a turn you move one piece one step in any direction, but you can attack the fortress only with a move straight forward and you cannot move diagonally between two opposing pieces. If you move your own piece on a square with an opposing piece you attack it, the card strength decides the winner; the loser is removed from the board. If you move a piece into the fortress it stays in place for the rest of the game. Instead of a normal turn you can reenter a removed piece via the corner squares of your fortress, this constitutes your turn.
