There are two kinds of pieces. Both players have one king called kung that is situated one space from the home square and seven soldiers called knekts that start offboard.

There are three things a player can do, place a new knekt on the home square, move a piece on the board or capture an enemy piece.
Knekts move and capture forward or diagonally forward, the kungs move similarly but do not capture.

The goal is to capture the enemy king or reach enemy home square at the opposite end of the board with the king. You lose also if you cannot make a move.

 
This game is the fourth in my new Swedish Counties Game (Svenska Landskapspel) Series.
