Kamisado is a game of pure skill and strategy! There are no dice, cards or any other chance element -- just you against your opponent. The aim in each round is to be the first to get an octagonal ‘dragon tower’ to the opposite side of the board by moving the towers in straight lines, either forward or diagonally. It sounds easy, doesn’t it? Well, of course there’s a twist: You can only move a tower if its color matches the color of the square your opponent last moved to. Also, you’ll sometimes find the routes you want to use blocked by enemy towers (and sometimes your own!). As the game unfolds, your towers will be promoted to ‘Sumos’, and will gain the ability to push your opponent’s pieces backwards, earning you extra turns. The situations continue to become more complex and challenging, until one player accumulates the required winning total and can be declared a ‘Kamisado Grand Master’!
