Games of Generals

[Alexandoy]

This is a board game that is played like chess except that the pieces are in military ranks. Starting with the lowest private and up the ladder to the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] Lieutenant until the highest which is 5-star General, it is a simple but thrilling game because the players don’t see the rank of their opponent’s pieces. The players can move the piece one square in any direction and when it overlaps an opponent’s piece, the arbiter checks and declares the lower rank to be out of the board. Making the game complicated is the stinger - Spy which can kill any rank and can only be killed by a private. It’s a nice game and more entertaining than the boring game of chess.
