AGON - BAORD GAME

Agon (or Queen's Guards or Royal Guards) is a strategy game
invented by Anthony Peacock of London, and first published in
1842. It is a two-player game played on a 6×6×6 hexagonal
gameboard, and is notable for being the oldest known board
game played on a board of hexagonal cells.
Rules
Agon
Each player has one queen and six guards. Players determine who
moves first, then turns alternate. On each turn, a player moves
one of his pieces. The object of the game is to be first to
maneuver one's queen to the central hex (the throne) at the
center of the board, and surround her with all six of her
guards.
Moves
The gameboard may be thought of as a series of concentric
rings of hex cells (highlighted by rings of alternating colors).
Pieces move one step at a time to an adjacent cell, either
sideways in the same ring, or towards the throne to the next
ring. The cell moved to must be vacant. Only the queen may move
to the throne.
Captures
A piece is captured when two enemy pieces are on adjacent sides
of it, in a straight line. The player whose piece is captured must
use his next turn to relocate the captured piece:
If the captured piece is a guard, the owner must move it to
any vacant cell of his choosing on the outer board ring.
If the captured piece is a queen, the owner must move it to
any vacant cell on the board.
If more than one piece is captured in a turn, the player whose
pieces were captured must move them one turn at a time. If one
of the pieces captured was the queen, it must be moved first. If
more than one guard was captured, they can be moved in any
order.
Other rules
If a player surrounds an empty throne with his guards,
then neither player will be able to form the winning
configuration, and that player forfeits the game.
It is not allowed to move a piece between and adjacent to
two enemy pieces, in a straight line.
If a player touches one of his pieces he must move that l
piece, or forfeit his turn.
