Ancient Stragey Games

About

Four complete historic board games. No account. No ads. No network required. A pocket hall of contests that people have played for centuries: mill the opponent on 24 points, hunt a Norse king across an 11×11 board, trap a fox on the cross, or race marbles across the star. Play the computer on Easy, Medium, or Hard, or pass the device. Each game includes How to play. Wins, losses, and an in-progress match stay on this iPhone or iPad. NINE MEN'S MORRIS Place nine pieces, form mills of three, and capture. After placement, slide along the lines. When you are down to three, fly to any empty point. White places first; the computer takes Black’s turn by itself. VIKING CHESS (HNEFATAFL) 24 attackers hunt 12 defenders and a king on the Copenhagen / Fetlar 11×11 layout. Pieces move like rooks. The king escapes to a corner — or is surrounded on all four sides. FOX & GEESE Thirteen geese try to pin one fox on the English 33-point cross. Only the fox jumps and captures; chained jumps are required. Geese win by trapping the fox. CHINESE CHECKERS Race 10 pieces into the opposite triangle on the 121-hole star. 2–6 players. Versus AI you sit in one camp and the rest are computer opponents. Jumps do not capture; chain them across the board.
