Yembo

Yembo is a culturally significant board game from Panïka.

History

It is generally accepted that Redyo created this board game in the year 1 BET to help him find a worthy successor to the throne of Panïka. The rules have stayed almost exactly the same since then, with some modern updates in regards to the components.

Execution

The goal of the game is to pick up as many pieces from the center circle as possible. To do this, the player can move three of his pieces one square or one of his pieces three squares in his turn. Getting to the middle circle will pick up a piece and you must bring back the piece to the border to put it in your inventory. If two pieces collide, then the one who moved last will win.

Each player has seven pieces played on a 7x7 square board. A small circle is placed in the center with 7 small pieces inside (different from the player pieces).
