Paladini (2023)

Paladini is played on a hex board (5 or 6 spaces per side). On his turn, the two players must place a new hexagonal tile on the board, then they must put a paladin on it, moving it from another tile or playing a new one (each player have three paladins). There are two kinds of hex tiles. The paladin played on a "knight" tile becomes a knight and it will be able to move in three directions, in a streight line, a number of hexagons he wants (but without going beyond other tiles). The paladin played on a "duke" tile becomes a duke and can move in all the six directions, but only of one hexagon. To move a paladin already on the board, the new tile must be on a hexagon that can be reached by him. Furthermore, new tile cannot played on hex controlled by opposing paladins. When one of the two players has no more moves available, the opponent will be the winner. —description from the designer
