Starting Point |
General RulesTwo players each begin with eighteen pieces and of those eighteen pieces three of them are royal pieces. One player will set up their side of the board while the other player is turned around; therefore, the opposing player does not know which pieces are the royal ones, which can be placed anywhere on your side of the board in accordance to the image on the left. Afterwards, the opposing player sets up the board the same way. The opposing player will only know if one piece is a royal by seizing that particular piece and flipping it over to see which sticker color it has. The King will have a green sticker, the Queen will have a yellow sticker and the Duke will have a blue sticker underneath them. In order to start the game each player rolls a dice to decide who gets the first turn. The player who rolls the highest number decides who gets the first move. |
Basic Game Board Description and Rules
Ø Seize & Conquer shall be played on a custom board where the second row of each player’s side is their kingdom.
Ø The first row is where you will put the other players seized pieces into the dungeons of the kingdom. The dungeons must be filled from left to right with the seized pieces, but if each dungeon is filled with at least one piece than you may stack the next seized piece in any dungeon you like.
Ø The crowns on the board are used to place the released pieces onto the board. You can release as many pieces as you can as long as you have a crown available for the released piece to be placed on, and you can place the released piece on any crown you like on your side. As a result, if your opponent or your piece is occupying a crown then you cannot place a released piece on that crown till the crown is available.
Ø For every piece that reaches your opponent’s kingdom your opponent must tell you how many and what kind of royals there are left on the board.

Ø Each piece can move horizontally forwards, backwards, and from side to side. |
How to Win
Ø One way to win is to wipe out your opponent’s pieces
Ø Another way to win is to have the highest ranking royal left on the board in your opponent’s kingdom. Therefore, if you have the Duke reach your opponent’s kingdom and you still have a Queen or your opponent still has a Queen in play you cannot win unless you bring the Queen to your opponent’s kingdom or wipeout your opponent’s Queen.
Ø If the King reaches your opponent’s kingdom then you automatically win the game even if your opponent has a King on the field.
Ø If your royal pieces were taken away from you then you must either wipe out your opponents pieces to win or have a soldier reach your opponent’s kingdom and release the royals from the dungeon and use the royals to win the game.
