Description

The Ludus Rebellionis appears in a sixteenth century Italian manuscript, with three different diagrams. In this version each side plays with a King, Queen, and sixteen Pawns which are intermingled in the starting position.

Rules

8x8 board. Each player plays as one King and one Queen with sixteen Pawns. The Kings begin in opposite corners at the top of the board, with the Queens to their left or right. The sixteen Pawns are on alternating spaces in the opposite four rows of the board, with the Pawn in the bottom corner corresponding to the color of the King in the top corner of that side.

These rules were taken from the Cesena ruleset.
