Liberian Queah is a two-player abstract strategy game
from Liberia. It is specifically from the Queah tribe. The
game is played on a slanted or diagonal square board with
only 13 spaces. Pieces move "orthogonally" along these
slanted or diagonal square boards. Another unique
feature is that each player must have four (and only four)
pieces on the board. Each player's captured piece is
resupplied at the beginning of their next turn with a piece
from their reserve (unless of course the player has no
more pieces to resupply with).
1. Players decide what colors to play, and who starts
first.
2. Players initially place four of their pieces on the four
squares nearest them and to their right. Each player's
remaining six pieces are set aside next to the board.
3. Players alternate their turns. Only one piece may be
moved or used to capture an enemy piece per turn.
4. A piece moves one space per turn orthogonally along the
slanted or diagonal square board onto a vacant space.
5. A player's piece can capture an enemy piece by the short
leap. The player's piece must be adjacent to the enemy
piece, and land on a vacant space on the other side. The
capture must be done in an orthogonal direction following
the slanted or diagonal design of the board. Only one
enemy piece can be captured per turn. A captured piece is
removed from the board.
6. If a player's piece has been captured, then the player
at the beginning of their next turn must take one piece
from their reserve, and drop it on any vacant space. A
player's number of pieces on the board must always be
restored to four, unless of course the player has
exhausted their reserve. Please note though, that a
player can only drop a piece from their reserve, if one of
their pieces was captured on the opponent's last turn.
