Kimstad is played on 7x7 board with marked squares in the middle and in the corners just like in some of the Tafl group games like Brandubh, Ard-Ri and Tablut. There are two kinds of pieces, soldiers that move one step only forwards orthogonally or diaganolly and capture only diagonally forwards and kings that move and capture orthogonally to all directions one step at the time. Only kings can enter the marked squares.
Captures take place by replacement and are nor mandatory.
The goal is to capture the enemy king or place your king on the enemy corner space.

Kimstad is a village South West of my beloved Norrköping, Sweden.
