Game Rules

♚♟

King's Valley is an abstract sliding strategy board game on a 5×5 grid. Each side commands 1 king and 4 soldiers. The goal is to be the first to slide your king into the center square (the 'King's Valley').

  • Each turn, pick one of your pieces and slide it in a straight line (8 directions: horizontal, vertical, or diagonal). The piece slides until just before it would hit another piece or the board edge — it lands on the farthest empty square in that direction.
  • Soldiers (♟) cannot stop on the center square. Only the king (♚) may land on the center. Use soldiers to block paths and control key squares.
  • Win by moving your king onto the center square. If a player has no legal move on their turn, that player loses.
