Chase games

Games in which pieces chase one another along a path while a die decides the steps are found in many cultures, and catching an opponent's piece is a favourite rule among children. Exactly where and when this kind of game began is not certain.

This version

Sternjagd follows the pattern of a traditional dice chase game. The star-shaped board with its arrows, the three stars and the rules for catching are our own design; no historical board was copied.
