+ | Cards can be played from the barrack, an area that functions similarly to a player's hand in many card games. While in play, cards can be captured and they can capture other cards, although the specifics depend upon the ranks of the cards involved. Squires, for example, cannot capture unless supported by another card. On the other end of the spectrum, kings can capture any card except another king, and can only be captured by three cards working together, all of rank knight or higher. However, if a king is captured, the player it belongs to loses the game. This makes the decision to play the king a strategic one, since the great power in capturing is balanced by the risk of losing it. |
