Das Kapital (1982)

The game "Das Kapital" was included in Spielbox 4/82 as part of the "Spiel zum Herausnehmen/Game to Remove" series.

It is played on a triangular board with 81 hex spaces. It is a variation of a chess game for 3 players. And as in chess, the object of the game is the capture of the opposing king(s).

Each player has 9 playing pieces:

- 1 Kapital (similar to the king in chess)
- 1 Intelligenz (similar to the knight)
- 1 Kirche (similar to the rook)
- 1 Militär (similar to the bishop)
- 1 Politiker (similar to the queen)
- 4 Arbeiter (similar to the pawn)

The total number of playing pieces is exactly 1/3 (27) of the board size of 81. And since 54 spaces are empty at the beginning, a slower development of the game is achieved.

Several additions are made to the normal rules, like enabling the capture of own pieces (which allows an additional move) or making a putsch against the own pieces. It's not explicitly mentioned, but I guess, these additions can be left away to play the game.
