We are now offering multiple versions of this game, and all pieces are decorated!
Ludus latrunculorum, (also known as latrunculi, or latrones) was “the game of the brigands” played throughout the Roman Empire. A two player predecessor of Chess and a cousin of Hnefatafl, the objectives of the game are to either capture all your opponent's regular pieces, or to capture your opponent's Dux, or king.
Our standard version comes with an 8 by 11 square setup, with 12 pieces per side: 11 regular pieces, and the Dux. We are now offering 8 by 8 and 8 by 12 versions, witha total of 25 pieces per side.
Gameplay is simple to learn, with captures being made with a flanking sort of action like in Hnefatafl. Pieces move straight any number of spaces in the rows or columns to their positions. A full list of rules is included as well as a cloth bag to store pieces in. Get it for the historian or game lover in you life today!
We are now offering multiple versions of this game, and all pieces are marked to work with Dr. Shädler's reconstruction as well!

Pieces look great! Can't wait to annoy my family into learning the rules of this game so that I have people to play with.

Got this for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it!! Beautifully made, fun game. My only note would be to maybe darken the “black” pieces more so they are more easily distinguished from the “white” pieces. Really cool game, thanks y’all.
