Brandubh rules are wrong #23

Open davzol opened 5 years ago

davzol commented 5 years ago

I've downloaded Jocklyboard to play Brandubh but the rules are wrong in several ways:

all pieces move like rook in chess (and not like King in chess as actually set)
to win, the king must reach corners, not side of the board
corners are restricted and hostile places, like central throne
out of his throne, the king is capture with only 2 attackers, not 4 (except beside the throne where it needs 3 attackers to capture him)

Detailed rules are available on World Tafl Federation website: http://aagenielsen.dk/historical_hnefatafl_rules.php
