'''KNIGHT'S BRIDGE'''
'''by Nicodemus'''
 
KNIGHT'S BRIDGE IN A 
NUTSHELL


This is a board game for 
two players. Each player 
begins with three pieces. 
The object is to move 
thy three pieces in 
concert in order to force 
the treasure from the 
center of the board to 
thine own side. All the 
while, thine opponent shall 
be attempting to do the 
same. Each turn consists 
of a player either 
"moving" or "pushing" a 
piece followed by a 
similar action by the 
opposing player.

A legal "move" consists of 
placing one's piece in any 
adjacent, unoccupied black 
or white square. A legal 
"push" is performed when 
a player forces a piece, 
either an opponent's or 
the treasure, one space 
directly away from his 
piece. The exception to 
the latter rule, making a 
"push" illegal, occurs when 
a player wishes to "push" 
a piece into the space 
from which it just left 
in the preceding turn.

If any piece, excluding the 
treasure, is "pushed" onto 
a blue square or off the 
board, that piece is 
considered lost, and is 
removed from play. The 
treasure may not be 
"pushed" off the board. 
To win the game, a 
player must "push" the 
treasure to the back row 
of squares on his side of 
the board
