Classical Latrunculi (Ludus latrunculorum or the Game of Little Soldiers) was an ancient strategy game played throughout the Roman Empire (27 BC - 1453 AD). Petteia in ancient Greek
Latrunculi XXI is a variation of the ancient Roman game, expanding on the classical rules and adding new tactics which allow a modern 'XXI' (a.k.a. 21st) century player to force a win on his/her opponent, while minimizing the number of draws or blocked positions.
Latrunculi XXI is played with light and dark pieces, checkers or stones to represent the soldiers, and a 2nd piece to identify the Dux (Leader or King). It can be played in various size boards: 8x8, 10x8 or 12x8.
The objective is to immobilize the opponent's Dux, to stalemate him, or to annihilate his army.
