Conquer - Ally - Diplomacy peg board game

Conquer - Ally - Diplomacy (a peg board game with up to 6 players of different colors. 4 different pieces or pegs are used and each has a unique movement Some of them like a pawn have limited movement and attack but are have more pieces on the board. The idea is to either defeat all other players through a direct conflict. Create an alliance with 1 or more players then divide the end treasure or complete the game with no conflict at all. The end result must be declared at the beginning of the game. A common set is played with abstract pieces but a masterwork set is played with highly decorated board and pieces). 10 total pieces, 5 warriors, 2 archers, 2 wizards, 1 assassin. Red, yellow, blue, green, purple, orange are the colors. Sometimes this game is played 1 on 1 or 3 on 3. A six sided hex gridded game board is used. Six “slices” of the grid are coded to each color. The base is 7 hexes wide at its widest and the base 2 rows are colored in one of the six colors. All pieces are safe in the “castle” the colored hex grids. Only the assassin can attack in the castle. Warrior may attack one hex away on the flat sides only. Archers attack in a circle up to 3 hexes away Wizards attack in a line up to 5 hexes away in a line only. Flat side only The assassin can attack 1 square away only and is the only piece that can attack in another player’s castle. At the beginning of the first round and the beginning of each round after that a pre-determined amount of coin is offered to the pot, often just a coin or two. If a player cannot pay the purse they may get an ally to pay but forfeits the entire share of the pot if the game is won in that round. A side pot or “war chest” can be established against particular players if they agree on it to the exclusion of other players. It is played as per normal rules from then on. Side pots or “war chests” can be stolen by the assassin of another player but they may not be ally’s. To steal a “war chest” the assassin must spend an entire round in the castle without contest.
