Knights (Shared Pieces Competition)

Knights (Shared Pieces Competition)

Designer: Jason Smulevitch
Publisher: About.com: 2004 Shared Pieces Game Design Competition
Type: Board
Status: Free
Available from: http://boardgames.about.com/od/sharedpieces/a/knights.htm

Equipment:

  • A Chess Board
  • 4 Chess Knights (2 white, 2 black)
  • 60 Gaming Stones
  • Red, White, and Blue poker chips (to keep score)

The players move the knights around the board and collect points for landing on squares that have never been visited before. Once a square has been visited, it is marked with a stone and it can never be visited again. The game ends when none of the knights have a legal move. Players add up the their points, and the player with the highest total wins. If there is a tie, black is declared the winner to compensate for white going first.
