Brandub Board Game

"Brandub is a Celtic board game, based on pieces and playing boards found in runs and digs in Ireland and Wales. The game itself is a fast, enjoyable tactical challenge that leaves you wanting to play again and again. Simple rules but engagingly complex play for all skill levels."

Addendum: Brandub is one of the oldest known 2-player games that falls into the genre of "unequal forces" games. While 1 player is given 8 pieces (called "Barons"), the other player is given 5 pieces (4 "princes" and 1 "king"). The different pieces have different abilities, perhaps the most notable being the fact that the king cannot be removed from play by any means.
