About the game

Siege is a two-player tactical level board-wargame, vaguely inspired by ancient Chess-like games such as Chinese Chess. Four knights (which move like Chess knights) attack a castle guarded by four footmen (like Kings) and a Commander (like Bishops but with a special Rook-like move). The terrain is divided into the Castle, lawn and moat (for lack of better terminology) and restricts the movement of pieces in various ways. Attacker wins by taking the Commander, defender wins by taking all attackers.

Questions and answers

Siege supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
