Guerrilla Checkers

2010·Brian Train

2 players
10 - 30 min
Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

A hybrid of Checkers and Go, for two players. The "Guerrilla" player, using small Go stones, plays on the intersection points of the checkerboard squares to surround and capture the enemy pieces. Meanwhile, the "Counterinsurgent" player, using checkers, moves on the checkerboard squares to jump and capture the enemy. Equipment required: checkerboard or 8x8 grid, six checkers or large pieces, and 66 small pieces distinct from the large pieces (buttons, glass beads, small Go stones, etc.) (source: designer's summary)
