Cornered

Cornered is one of several games playable with the Katarenga board and pieces. This game is invented by the author of Katarenga. Cornered is played on just one quarter of the board, which starts empty. The first pawn may be placed anywhere, but each subsequent pawn must be placed in such a way that it could be captured by the previous one. The last player able to place a pawn wins, and scores 1 point for each and every pawn on the board. Play up to a target score of 15 points, which will usually take two or three games to reach (or more, if you tend to resign early).
