Mini Charter is a two-player abstract strategy game played on a 4x4 grid divided into four 2x2 "Kingdoms". Players move their King using a constrained jump-movement system to claim territory and compete for control of each Kingdom. This Mini Charter edition serves as a standalone demo for the full version of Cross Charter. It isolates the core movement and "overwrite" mechanics on a smaller scale to provide a fast-paced introduction to the game's positional strategy. Gameplay Highlights: * Movement: Each turn, a player must jump 1 district (internal) or 2 districts (external) horizontally or vertically. * Claiming: Players place markers on unclaimed districts to expand their influence. * Overwriting: A player may seize an opponent s district only when a Kingdom is locked in a 2-2 claim split. * Objective: The game ends when no further territory changes are possible. The player controlling the most Kingdoms wins. Setup: The game can be played with pen and paper. —description from the designer
