Der Kraftkönig

The game pieces are black on one side and white on the other side. The starting player sets one piece with his color on top in the center space. This is the powerking (Kraftkönig). Then the players set alternately pieces of their color on the 8 spaces surrounding the powerking (satellites). Then the game spreads to the outer area. Each player may place a piece adjacent to an enemy piece, thereby enclosing a number of enemy pieces between two own pieces. The enclosed pieces (including, should the situation arise, the powerking and his satellites) are turned over to change their color. The game ends when all spaces are occupied. The players are awarded points for any pieces of their color: 1 point for each piece in the outer area, 9 points for the powerking and 3 points for each of his satellites. The player with the most points wins the game. This game is a variant of "Reversi" and was released in booklet format in "Bunkerspiele Heft 2 - Spiele unter Kameraden" with the game board and cut-out game pieces in the back of the booklet. —user summary
