Description

Metromachia aka the Geometrical Game is an ancient boardgame in which pieces in the shape of geometrical solids are meant to represent cavalry, infantry, and officers in a simulation of warfare. Each of the two players take turns moving their pieces, capturing their opponent’s pieces by various methods. When one player captures his or her opponent’s General piece, a siege of the opponent's fortified camp takes place.
