Der schwarze Ritter

 

Both pieces of a player start in their given positions, 16 obstacle stones are placed and all players try to reach the castle via the purple access spot. In his move a player may roll the die as often as he wants and move one of his pieces along the white lines. Obstacles cannot be passed, but can be relocated when the exact spot is reached. Not being able to move does not end the turn, only if rolling of the die shows the Black Knight. In that case the piece that was moved last must go back as near as possible to the starting position without passing an obstacle. If two opposing knights meet, the die is rolled alternately by both players till the Black Knight appears.
