The Game of Rat and Dragon

About this game

The Game of Rat and Dragon is a 2 player abstract strategy game played on a 6-by-6 square grid. Each player has four Characters made of wooden cubes; a Rat (a single cube), a Dragon (3 cubes in an L shape) and two Soldiers (two cubes each). At the start of the game each player builds a cube out of their Characters in the 2-by-2 squares marked on opposite corners of the board. Players then take turns moving their Characters on the board. The aim of the game is to build a cube of Characters in the central 2-by-2 "Sun Square" or to capture one of the opponent's Characters. Opposing characters can be captured, or trapped, by covering enough of their square faces with faces of your own characters.
