Seize the king

Basic idea :

My analog game idea is basically a 2-player + game where each of you have 1 king and 5 minions.
You are supposed to place 3 minions at the oponents king to win the game, essentially a checkmate.
The board is 17 x 26 blocks counting the warpholes and the boarder. The field is filled with obstacles. They could aid you, however it they might also block an escape route.
Since this Is supposed to be an analog game, the obstacles won't and can't be random generated.
(Maybe later if I make a digital version).

Moving :

The Warrior may move in a straight line as far as they like.
The Rogue may move diagonally as far as they like.
The Knights may move 5 steps in any direction and jump over any obstacle. He/She ends her turn after jumping.
The King may move 2 step in any direction. He may also change direction.

Rules :

You are allowed to move 3 times each turn, Counting the king.
You are not allowed to move 1 character 3 times to make your three moves etc. 1 move per character.
Your king can be used to capture the your opponents' king, however it itsn't recommended.

Stuff worth knowing

There are two warpholes that are 4 blocks wide on the side of the field.
You can't take out your oponents minions


Future ideas/plans :

Making it a real boardgame
Maybe having multiple fields to choose from.
