Cyvasse

Cyvasse is originally a fictional two-players game in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series; he described it as "a bit of chess, a bit of blitzkrieg, a bit of stratego. Mix well and add imagination."

Cyvasse features ten types of “unit” (King, Dragon, Elephant, Trebuchet, Catapult, Heavy Horse, Light Horse, Crossbowman, Spearman and Rabble) with different powers and attributes and capture conditions.

In addition, the board includes individual "Mountain" and "Fortress" tiles, allowing for a different battlefield terrain each game.

Before play, each player arranges their half of the board secretly, placing units and terrain tiles under cover of a large dividing screen. Once arranged, the screen is removed and play proceeds in alternating turns. Each piece has its own strengths and weaknesses, and multiple units (such as Elephants and Spearmen) may be moved during a single turn.

The game ends upon the capture of an opposing player’s King.
