Zodiakos (2011)

The sister game to Junishi, 12 Moons and Neteru, Zodiakos is an abstract strategy game inspired by the 12 signs of the Greek Zodiac. (Each player controls 6 of the 12 signs.) The object of Zodiakos is to move one of your 6 pieces into your opponent's Gate, which is located at the opposite end of the board, in between your opponent's Spawn Areas. Players begin at either end of a board comprised of 23 circles. At the start of the game there are not any pieces on the board. Any pieces that a player wishes to use must be "spawned" in one of the Spawn Circles on that player's side of the board. Players may move the pieces that they already have on the board either by moving them into adjacent circles or by jumping over friendly pieces. Players also may use their animals to capture their opponent's animals by jumping over them. Zodiakos is a simple and fast paced abstract strategy game that is easy to learn and usually plays in under 20 minutes. It comes in a little cloth bag that also serves as the game board and it can be carried in any pocket that is big enough to hold a pack of gum. Zodiakos is a complete game that can be expanded by combining it with its sister games Junishi, 12 Moons, and Neteru. (source : the publisher) Integrates with: 12 Moons Junishi Neteru
