Camette

What to Expect

In Camette, you play on a very small board aiming to move any piece into your opponent's goal. Pieces move point-to-point and can jump over friendly and enemy pieces to capture them. The compact board size leads to fast-paced play and sudden victories. The game demands tactical thinking and quick decisions in direct confrontations.

Who Is This Game For?

Camette is designed for two players and fits as a light to mid-weight strategy game with about 20 minutes playtime. It appeals to players who enjoy abstract strategy with manageable complexity and is suitable for ages 10 and up.

How It Works

The game uses point-to-point movement on a small board of 23 squares. Each player controls a knight and men with similar moves. Players try to reach the opponent's goal or capture all opposing pieces. Jumping over pieces is allowed for movement and capturing. The game ends when a piece reaches the goal or all enemy pieces are captured.

What Makes It Special

Designed by Michael Wortley Nolan as a downsized version of the classic Camelot (1888), Camette features a much smaller board and simplified winning conditions. It belongs to the Camelot abstract series and excludes stalemate draws, enabling quick and strategic matches.

Setting & Atmosphäre

Camette has an abstract setting typical for pure strategy games, played on a small grid reminiscent of the classic Camelot board but much reduced in size.

Tipp für Einsteiger

Focus first on mastering the jumping and capturing mechanics before exploring complex strategies.
