The Flag and Bombs are the only pieces which cannot attack another piece due to being unable to move. There is one Flag piece and six Bombs, typically labeled 'F' and 'B' respectively. The Spy loses if it is attacked by any piece, including the Marshal and also when it attacks any other piece, except for the opposing spy, in which case both are removed.įrom highest rank to lowest the movable pieces are:: 10 or 1 : one Marshal: 9 or 2 : one General: 8 or 3 : two Colonels: 7 or 4 : three Majors: 6 or 5 : four Captains: 5 or 6 : four Lieutenants: 4 or 7 : four Sergeants: 3 or 8 : five Miners (the only piece that can defuse Bombs): 2 or 9 : eight Scouts (the only piece capable of moving more than one space in a turn): S : one Spy Each team also has one Spy which wins when it attacks the highest-ranked piece (the Marshal).

If the engaging pieces are of equal rank, kamikaze takes place. If a piece is moved onto a square occupied by an opposing piece, their identities are revealed, the weaker piece is removed from the board, and the stronger piece is moved into the place formerly occupied by the weaker piece. Ranks are printed on one side only and placed so that players cannot identify specific opponent's pieces. Pieces are colored on both sides, so players can easily distinguish between their own and their opponent's. One player uses red pieces, and the other uses blue pieces. Players cannot see the ranks of each others' pieces, so misinformation and discovery are important parts of the game. ![]() The objective of the game is to find and capture the opponent's Flag, or to capture so many pieces that the opponent cannot move at all.
