Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What are the two colors of the pieces of the opposing armies?

Answer: Red and Blue

The blue pieces have silver pictures and numbering while the red pieces have gold pictures and numbering.

2. What is the name of the highest ranking piece in each army?

Answer: Marshall

The General is second highest. There is no King.

3. What rank is not used in the game?

Answer: Corporal

There are no Corporals, or Privates for that matter.

4. What are the only 3 pieces that can kill the Marshal?

Answer: Spy , Bomb, Marshal

The Spy must strike first or else he is killed. The Marshal dies if he strikes a bomb (a bomb cannot be moved), and if the Marshals strike each other, they are both killed.

5. What is the only piece that can move more than one square at a time?

Answer: Scout

The Scout can move any number of squares, and is generally used on "suicide missions" to force the opponent to reveal the rank of his pieces.

6. What is the only piece that is not killed by a bomb?

Answer: Miner

Miners are valuable in that only they can defuse a bomb. There is no piece called the Bomb Squad Technician.

7. There are two ways to win. The most common way (and the stated objective) is to capture the opponent's flag. The other is to make it so your opponent has no _______ pieces.

Answer: movable

Bombs and the flag cannot move, so if all other pieces are captured and the player cannot move, he loses.

8. How many Majors does each player start the game with?

Answer: 3

In addition, there is 1 Marshall, 1 General, 2 Colonels, 4 Captains, 4 Lieutenants, 4 Sergeants, 5 Miners, 8 Scouts, 1 Spy, 6 Bombs, and 1 Flag for a total of 40 peieces to each player.

9. Which manner are the pieces NOT allowed to move?

Answer: Diagonally

All pieces (except bombs and flags) can move 1 square forward, backward, or sideways, but not diagonally. The Scout can move any number of squares forward, backward or sideways, and you can move onto a square occupied by your opponent (thereby starting a challenge or battle), with the highest ranking piece staying there.

10. What two obstacles in the middle of the board do both players have to move their pieces around?

Answer: Lakes

Perhaps if there was an Admiral or Commodore, he could go through the lakes instead of around them.
