From the game itself:More moves than chess - fewer rules than draughts/checkers. A game that could almost have come from the Bronze Age itself - when the Celtic Nation was at its most powerful.This game of Celtic Warriors employs an ancient method of entrapment know as 'Custodian Capture' , a ploy which dates back many thousands of years.The first impression of the games is something like a chess/checkers hybrid. More checkers than chess though. Two players face off, trying to reduce the opponent to just one game piece, thus winning the game. - BoardGameGeek
