Board/Starting Positions |
Nagat is played on a hexagonal board with five cells per side. Each player controls an army of 8 soldiers (shown with the numbers "2" and "3") and 1 king (shown as the outlined number "1"). The following are starting positions for both two- and three-player Nagat, respectively: |
Play |
Blue goes first, followed by yellow, then red. Each player, on their turn, moves one piece. Soldiers change numbers if they are moved. If a piece lands on a space occupied by an opponent's piece, the opponent's piece is captured. A piece may not move through or jump over any piece, including their own.
