This game is best described as an strategic wargame for two players using an eight-by-eight board, set in an fabled warfare between tribes of deer, reindeer and mooses/elks. There are two armies: the defending army whose objective is to protect the king pawn and to pacify the attacker, and the attacking army with the objective to either capture or kill the king. The pieces have a unique form of movement, battles occurs when a piece is placed adjacent to an opponent's piece. Battle is settled by dice roll, action tokens are used to limit choice (mostly movement) during each turn.
At the moment, it is heading in two directions, a pure abstract and one mor themed.
