Movement After all game stones in the game are inserted, the contest of the magicians begins. Alternately each player moves. Red begins. He can only move his magicians. The magicians have three movement possibilities. In each round a movement can occur in only one of these three ways. 1. He may move his magician one square in any neighboring direction, pushing opponents figures accordingly, including the wisdom pieces, most desirably into the flame fields. 2. With his own magician he may jump over an adjacent game stone, whether it is his own or his opponents, or a magician or a wisdom. Multiple jumps are allowed. Also one can change direction during such a jump. 3. The magician moves between Space and Time. If one's magician stands at the board's edge, so one can move out from the square and emerge on the opposite side of the board again. A player can push another piece over the edge to the other side. It is not allowed, to move figures off the edge of the board and back to their old places. One can move magicians through fire spaces and they may also stand there. One's own wisdoms may not be pushed in the fire. Foreign wisdoms are burnt immediately, taken from the game and immediately scored. Scoring is determined by the opponents wisdoms, which are pushed in the flame fields. The points are indicated on the scales at the board edge. As soon as a player has burnt wisdoms of the adversary that are worth five points, the game is finished and the appropriate player is victorious. Return to Main Email me.
