Dominance

The game box include : a totally black 3d 9x9 board , 18 red dice, 18 black dice and a manual.The dice have the French card symbols on their sides (hearts , diamonds , clubs and spades) and are called knights. If the symbol is surrounded by a square it is called "prince". The game is similar to chess in general concepts. To win you have to "catch the king" with "princes" and "knights" represented by dice. You move "knights" by one space at a time, rolling them on the board. "Princes" can move, rolling or not, by any space number. You may capture an opponent piece when your dice shows the same symbol of the opponent's one on his top and when they are in line. In Italy the game was published in 80' by Mondadori Giochi but it was probably distributed in all Europe as on the back of the game box there is a short description in many languages.
