- Several people have asked me to post the rules for Amazons. Well,
- they've been published in World Game Review and Games, but here they are:
-
- AMAZONS by Argentinian Walter Zamkauskas
-
- EQUIPMENT: 4 red tokens, 4 blue tokens, 92 black Go stones, and a 10x10 board
-
- RULES
- 1. Red has amazons on A4/D1/G1/J4, Blue has amazons on A7/D10/G10/J7.
-
- 2. Red starts, and turns alternate. On each turn, a player's amazon
- moves like a chess queen, then 'fires an arrow' a queen's move from its
- stopping square; both parts of the move are MANDATORY. Use the go stones
- to mark the arrows.
-
- 3. Amazon and arrow cannot move over or onto an occupied square. The
- arrow's landing place becomes a permanent block to all arrows and amazons.
-
- 4. Last player able to finish a turn wins.
