e/Ringo (game)

Information
has gloss	eng: Ringo is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Germany. It was possibly invented sometime in the late 1800s or early 1900s. The game simulates a castle siege. Attackers are attempting to enter a castle while defenders are trying to protect it and reduce the number of attackers. Pieces are captured similarly as in draughts which makes Ringo its distant relative although some consider it to be a descendant of Tafl games which also have opponents with different sized armies. An interesting feature in Ringo is an area on the board called the Neutral Zone where pieces cannot be captured which makes for some interesting attack tactics on the castle.
