    Loki Chess rules

    Viking Chess base

    • Attackers move first.
    • All pieces move in a straight line across empty squares, like a rook.
    • Only the king can land on the four corner squares.
    • The king wins by reaching any corner.
    • Capture pieces by sandwiching them between two hostile sides.
    • Corner and throne squares can complete a sandwich capture.
    • The attackers win by sandwiching the king.
    • If a side has no legal move, the game is a draw.
    • The same exact move cannot be played for a third time.

    New Loki pieces

    Trickster

    Press Exchange, choose one enemy piece, then choose one of your pieces. The two pieces swap squares. The king cannot be exchanged. Neither piece may be a Specialist.

    Specialist powers only affect ordinary pieces. The king and all Specialists are immune, on both sides. Specialists can still move and be captured normally.

    Each side has three exchanges. A swap can capture if it leaves an enemy sandwiched.

    General

    Press General’s Move, then select an ordinary friendly piece to move twice. The king and Specialists cannot be given two moves.

    The commanded piece moves once, then immediately gets one extra move. Each side has three General speed uses.

    Wizard

    Press Freeze, then choose one enemy piece to freeze. The king and all Specialists cannot be frozen.

    The frozen piece cannot move normally, but the Trickster can exchange it. It stays frozen after the exchange. Capturing the enemy Wizard releases your frozen pieces. Each side has three freezes.

    Knight

    Press Knight’s Move, then choose an ordinary friendly piece.

    Move it along a clear straight line onto an enemy ordinary piece to capture it. It cannot jump over pieces or capture the king or a Specialist using this power. Each side has three Knight captures.
