kingsguard is a perfect information board game for two players where the aim is to capture the other player's king by immobilizing it on the board. i developed kingsguard independently over the course of four weeks, including designing the board and the creation and game design of four different pieces, two of which (squares, which halt piece movement, and triangles, which redirect piece movement depending on their orientation) serve as obstacles that are placed around the board that either halt or redirect the movement of pieces, and the other two of which (circle pieces, which can only be moved in a straight line and must continue until they are redirected or stopped by an obstacle or wall, and the king, which can move omnidirectionally and stop as desired) serve as the actual pieces moved by the player.
