Jeu Du Roy, Le (F) (1988) - Amstrad CPC - Action

The Game of King is a derivative of the game of chess. It opposes, on a chessboard of 81 squares, the camp of the king called Caesar, Henry IV or Napoleon, who at the start of the game, stands on the central square surrounded by 8 friendly pawns, and the camp of the 16 other pawns, distributed near the edge of the board. The king, always played by the computer, wins if he reaches one of the squares on the periphery. All the pieces move like chess rooks: a piece surrounded by 2 enemies is taken, the king mobilizes 4 enemies before surrendering. 2 starting arrangements, combined with the 3 strategies corresponding to the 3 kings, and combined with the 3 levels of difficulty, gives a singular richness to a simple game whose games, at the beginning, end, barely started, with a humiliating defeat of your camp.
