Sacred Square

The enemy claims two sacred squares.

After 6 player moves, two empty squares become enemy sacred zones. Your pieces may pass through empty sacred squares, but they cannot land there or capture enemy pieces standing on them.

Strategy notes

Turn the constraint
into a lever.

Plan around it

  • Use sacred squares as blocked landing zones, not solid walls.
  • Force enemy pieces away from protected squares before attacking them.

Keep in mind

  • Rooks, bishops, and queens may pass through empty sacred squares.
  • You cannot capture an enemy piece while it stands on a sacred square.
