Descrizione: Asinel is a strategic 10x10 board game where players lead an army of animal-themed pieces, each moving like their chess counterparts, to guide their Donkeys safely to the opponent’s last rank. Each player begins with 24 pieces: 10 Squirrels (Pawns), 4 Cats (non-Royal Kings), 2 Dogs (Bishops), 2 Wolves (Rooks), 2 Hunters (Queens), and 4 Donkeys (Knights). The Donkeys, carrying a valuable load, are central to victory and must reach the opponent’s final rank. Squirrels, which move like pawns, can promote to any piece except Donkeys when they reach the last rank.
Pieces are placed in three rows: the third row holds the Squirrels, the second row contains all other pieces except Donkeys, and the first row is reserved for the Donkeys. Victory is achieved by advancing a Donkey to the last rank or capturing all opposing Donkeys. If only one Donkey remains for a player, it becomes Royal—immune to capture but subject to checkmate. All other pieces can be captured, including the powerful Hunters. Cats move like chess Kings but are not Royal, serving as defensive and tactical pieces. Asinel combines familiar chess mechanics with a unique race and survival element, creating a thrilling game of strategy and suspense.
The name Asinel combines the Italian word for Donkey (Asino) with the Romanian diminutive suffix "-el", which can mean "of God" or "Godly" in Hebrew. This choice adds a sacred association to the Donkey, emphasizing its pivotal role in the game. While Donkeys are humble in nature, their significance is elevated, symbolizing something essential and almost divine in their importance to the strategy. The name reflects both the Donkey’s importance and its sacred connection within the game.
