Are the other pieces allowed to sit on the "king's valley" ? what if the other player sits on it and never moves away from it.

Only King pieces can go in center square King’s Valley. Other pieces can’t go in and occupy there. Of course they go through King’s Valley square and stop on the other side square.

Played that regency version of this, i really like it, want a physical set. Is the game's website the only place i can buy a physical set?

Thank you for your comment and playing Regency King’s Valley.

That is very good app. Retrieve the King position is very difficult to win.

Please enjoy it.

Anyway all games are made as article products by hand made with ceramic tiles.

So now you can buy physical version on my web site only.

Off course I hope someone will produce my games all over the world, but not yet.

Thanks.

@tukisekaijin What is your website where I can buy this? do you have a ceramic version for sale too?

@ChaseNotSoYoung

I am not only a designer but also a creator. My specialty is painting on tile and ceramics, so all board games are made from ceramic tiles.

King’s Valley physical board is sold on my web site only.

Thanks your comment.

I've never looked at it before. I checked it on game geek site.

Piece moving system is almost same. Difference is diagonal moving.

I am always to try to design games simple as soon as possible.

I think for 5 by 5 small grid board, diagonal moving is necessary. It makes King's Valley game deep and interesting.
