Get Ready for..The Game of the Generals

 Did you know that The Game of the Generals one of games with all about board game was invented here in the Philippines by Sofronio H. Pasola Jr.?, yes, it’s true, his inspiration was his son. They first played it on a chessboard, although the pieces are not likely as of the chess game, because its character were from the army. First, he invented it with no spies, but after he remembered James Bond he added the pieces to the game.  Unlike in the chess, while you play the GG (Game of the Generals) each of you and your opponent’s pieces were hidden from each other, in other words you can’t see the pieces of your opponent.

The objective of this game is to eliminate or capture the flag of your opponent.

THE CHARACTERS AND THEIR FUNCTION:

The Five-star general, four-star general, Lieutenant General, major general, brigadier general, colonel, Lt. colonel, major, captain, 1^st Lieutenant – all this pieces are only one and they all eliminates the private ,the flag and other lower ranking officer .

The 2nd Lieutenant – have only one pieces and it eliminates the sergeant, private and the flag.

The Sergeant - it eliminates the private and the flag.

The Private – it eliminates the spy and the flag, it has 6 pieces.

The Spy – it eliminates all officers ranking sergeant to five – star general and the flag. There are two spies in this game.

The Flag – it eliminates the opposing flag.

Unlike on the chess, the pieces on GG can be placed wherever the advantage of the piece has been there.  Each player can move only one piece per turn. My suggestion, think carefully before putting the piece on its place.

I only know basic in The Game of the Generals so that I can’t give many suggestions and strategic in playing this game.
