The “Battle Of The Trees” ™ Celtic Board Game : "The Attacking Pieces (Gwydion Forces)"

  Since the “Ogham Tree Alphabet” consists of twenty letters, you will find twenty Attacking pieces corresponding to the four families of ogham trees: the Birch, the Rowan, the Alder, the Willow, the Ash, the Hawthorn, the Oak, the Holly, the Hazel, the Apple, the Vine, the Ivy, the Reed, the Blackthorn, the Elder, the Gorse, the Silver Fir, the Heather, the White Poplar, and the Yew.

 Attacking pieces are placed on the outskirts of Annwn, on the ebony wood (dark brown) squares round the 1st and 2nd, rings. Simply place each pawn on the ebony squares of the first and second rings, leaving the two holly wood squares adjacent to the Banishing Zone on the second ring unfilled.

The featured information and artworks belong to the “Battle Of The Trees” ™ Celtic Board Game  , a creative and inventive chase and battle game that retains part of the spirit of the ancient Irish "Brandub" and "Fidchell" board games.

One of its main features is that you may not only play it as a battle game, but also as a way for divination... You play as Gwydion, the bard and magician. “Lord of Knowledge” and “Lord of Trees”, and you will be responsible for animating the trees of the forest on their final quest.

 For further information about this game, I wrote a whole eBook as an extended version of the companion handbook, comprising the complete information upon the context and basis of “Battle Of The Trees” ™ Celtic Board Game, and now available on Kindle format at Amazon
