CAVALIER au CORDEAU

Copyright (c) 1980s T. Truran

The game is played on a empty limited 8x8 board. Also, each player has 20 soldiers and 1 King.

 

DROP - Each player, in the 1st turn, drops his King into an empty cell on the board. MOVE - Each King moves like the Chess Knight to: an empty cell, and then dropping a soldier on the cell they just left. a cell already occupied by one of his soldiers, and on the next turn, the player will not place a soldier on that cell (a cell cannot have two soldiers).  GOAL - To align 4 soldiers in any direction (orthogonal or diagonal) If none of the players achieve it at endgame (all soldiers were dropped), then a draw is declared.

 

An example Black should jump to d7 (the blue cell) to win at b6 in a diagonal 4 in a row.

I caught this game rules on the oldie Jeux et Stratègie, but I don't know from which issue...
