Cops and Robbers

A game for two or for two teams of two. In the four-player version each player controls three cops or three robbers; in the two-player version each player controls six. The object of the cops is to kill all the robbers, and vice versa.

The game is played on a 13×13 grid which is divided by impenetrable hedges into a maze. Three cops start at each of two opposite corners; three robbers start at each of the other two.

Each player on his/her turn moves one of his/her men up to five spaces. If the man lands adjacent to an enemy man, that man is killed and removed from the board.

This game is from the book The KnowHow Book of Action Games.
