Occupy the opposing player’s home square for a full turn or reduce the opposing player to a single piece or stack.
You Need:
- A piecepack set
- A set of piecepack pyramids
Players take turns moving their pieces, attempting to either occupy the opponent's home space or eliminate his opponent's pieces. Pieces may be stacked during game play -- stacks have a greater range of movement than single pieces.
Activators add a special twist to the game. Activators are placed on an opponent's pieces to take them over. Activators allow a player's pieces to attack other pieces and can be used in conjunction with each other to freeze pieces. Activators also have the added advantage of being uncapturable.
There are two ways to win the game: 1) The first player to occupy the opponent’s home square wins the game, provided the occupying piece or stack survives the opponent’s next turn -- When a player moves a piece or stack onto the opponent’s home square, the opponent has one turn to capture the occupier. If the opponent cannot capture it, the game is over. 2) When one player is reduced to owning only a single piece, or a single stack, then the other player immediately wins the game.
