CASTLE

Copyright (c) ? ??

Castle can be played on a Go board, with the following setup:

 

WALLS & CASTLE - The Red dots represent walls. The green dots represent the throne. All the other cells are the ground.  I assume from the setup that all stones are on wall cells. TURN - At each turn, each player moves a friendly stone. A stone may orthogonally slide any number of empty cells. Sliding is only valid on the ground or on the wall. A slide cannot cross both types of cells. A stone cannot slide over or move into his own throne. A stone may move to a different type of cell (from a wall to the ground, or vice versa) if that cell is orthogonally adjacent. It's possible to capture by replacement (capture is not mandatory).  GOAL - A player wins when he places one stone at the opponent throne.
