PLAYED FOR YOU
BASCHNI
DRAUGHTS, DAME ....
Draughts in England, Dame in Germany and Austria, Baschni = towers in Russia, presented in the Series „Edition SOS – Kinderdörfer Spiele aus aller Welt – Russia“.
12 pieces for each player are marked with a crown on one side and you place them, crown marker face-down, into the light squares of the first three rows on your side of the boat. You play only always on the light squares of the board like chess-board. In your turn you move one of your pieces diagonally forward onto an adjacent empty square. Later in the game you are also allowed to move a piece diagonally backwards. Aim of the game is to get as many pieces across the board to the opposing base line to acquire king pieces. If you jump over an opposing piece onto a free square directly behind it the opposing piece is conquered and is placed under the piece which conquered it. The color of the top piece in a stack = tower marks the owner of the tower. In a move you can conquer several pieces. Towers are moved as a single piece and can conquer or be conquered like single pieces. When a tower is conquered, the pieces are freed; only the top piece goes underneath the conquering piece. The other pieces remain in place and can be moved by the new owner, according to normal rules. When a piece or a tower reaches the opposing base line it is turned into a king piece and can jump over empty squares; in all other aspects it acts like a normal piece. If you conquer or fence in all opposing pieces you win.
A good, classic game and due to the tower formation and the king pieces an interesting and independent version of standard game mechanics.
