Caviar: The Elegant Challenge (1977)

Caviar is an abstract strategy game played on 8x8 grid with each of the corner spaces missing. This results in the first and last rows having only 6 spaces instead of the usual 8. Each player has 6 tiles numbered 1-6 which are placed on the first and last row in numbered order. On a player's turn, he rolls 6 dice to determine which pieces may move and by how many spaces. To begin with, pieces may only move sideways, forward, or forward diagonally, but may not move backwards. If a piece is adjacent to an opponent's piece, it can be jumped in a Checkers fashion and removed from the game. Once a piece reaches the opponent's starting row, it becomes a king and can now move backwards. The first player to eliminate all of his opponent's pieces from the game is the Winner.
