 "All
The King's Men" is a unique game of Chess in the age of chivalry. Kings,
Knights and Archers take the field in a battle of strategy to capture the
opponent's King ... but here is the twist --- you must follow one of the
arrows that leads from the square that piece is on. Different strategies
than regular Chess must be used, as you use the arrows both offensively
and defensively, as well as the attack value of each piece.
Game
components include : Gameboard, 24 Men (2 sets made up of a King, 4 Knights
& 7 Archers ea.) & instructions.
Two
players. Ages 8 & up. Parker Brothers from 1979.

info: Rules listed below ...
Playing
1.
Take turns moving one piece at a time.
2.
To move a piece, follow one of the arrows that lead from the square that
the piece is on:
...a.
You may move a King only one square at a time.
...b.
You may move an Archer only one square at a time.
...c.
You may move a Knight any number of squares in one direction only
on that turn.
3.
No piece may jump over another piece.
4.
You may capture any of your opponent's pieces with any one of your own
pieces. To capture, simply move onto the square that is occupied by your
opponent, then remove the captured piece from the board. That ends that
piece's turn.
Winning
Announce
"Threat" if your opponent's King is open to capture on your next move.
To avoid capture, your opponent must then:
1.
Move the King out of the threat situation ... or ...
2.
Move a piece between the King and your threatening piece ... or ...
3.
Capture your threatening piece.
If
you opponent cannot make any of these moves, the game is over and you win.
