Both players take turns placing their five pieces on the board. However, the first player cannot place his first piece on the red space. When done, the pieces are can be moved along the lines to the next space. Enemy pieces are captured by jumping. Capturing is obligatory. Multiple capture jumps must be made if possible. The goal is to capture all enemy pieces or move your last piece on the red space. This game is a variant of my earlier game 'Vilbergen'. Like its precessor, this game has a very simple rule set and board but still a lot depth and strategy. The game is very challenging and the computer opponent is hard to beat. The name 'Hageby' is the name of a suburb in my beloved Norrköping, Sweden. |
