One thing is certain:Tiltwill not win first prize for beauty, nor for that matter for modesty. The box proudly proclaims: "completely renews the games of chess and checkers"
However, it is clear that todayTilthas not dethroned Checkers, nor Chess.
The game is a fairly classic opposition between two players.
Each has:
1 flag of value 0
1 pawn of value 5
2 pawns of value 4
3 pawns of value 3
4 pawns of value 2
5 pawns of value 1
Each person arranges their pawns as they wish, then the flag is placed between two pawns. Each pawn can advance independently. A pawn can push a weaker opponent. But pawns can be assembled in a column, and thus move or push opposing pawns or columns.
