About the game

What you do in a play session

You know those strategy games that look simple at first glance but make your brain melt in seconds? Well, Dablot Prejjesne is exactly that! Coming straight from Lapland, this classic brings a fascinating historical duel between the native Sami people and the settlers seeking fertile lands. On one side, we have the Sami royalty and warriors; on the other, the landowner and his farmers. And here's the cool part: despite the conflict theme, the game is perfectly balanced, with identical piece counts and power levels for both sides, ensuring victory depends solely on your wits.

The mechanics are based on jumping, somewhat reminiscent of the Alquerque family, but with a larger board and a unique layout. The goal is simple yet requires mastery: you must capture opponent pieces by jumping over them. Just don't get too cocky, because there's a hierarchy at play—you cannot capture a piece that is of a higher rank than yours! The game ends when a player loses all their pieces, is unable to make a legal move, or when players agree to a draw. It's a game of pure board reading, where every jump could be the start of an epic victory or the fatal mistake that leaves you stranded. If you enjoy fast-paced, tense duels that demand total focus, Dablot is your new tabletop companion.
