Asalto Navideño Vol
Asalto, also known as the Assault Game, German Tactics or Officers and Sepoys, is a board game for two players in which one player, playing as the officers, attempts to defend a fortress from their opponent's invading rebels. The game is a variant on the Fox and Geese theme, and is commonly played in Germany, France, and England. Rules Asalto is an asymmetric game in which the players take on two different roles: the rebels and the officers. The rebels' objective is to capture the two officers, surround them so that they cannot move, or occupy all of the points within the "fortress". The officers' objective is to capture enough rebels that these tasks become impossible.

List Of Abstract Strategy Games
An abstract strategy game is a board, card or other game where gameplay is mostly without a theme and a player's decisions affect the outcome. Abstract strategy games are combinatorial, i.e. they provide perfect information (instead of hidden or imperfect information), rely on neither physical dexterity nor non-deterministic elements (such as shuffled cards or dice rolls) during gameplay. Some board games which do not rely on the removal or movement of pieces can also be played as pen-and-paper games. Almost all abstract strategy games are designed for two players or teams taking a finite number of alternating turns. Chess and chess-like games Paper and pencil games "N-in-a-row" games N-in-a-row games involve placing and/or moving pieces on a game board attempting to create a layout of N pieces in a straight line (often N=3, but not always). Positional games involve ''only'' playing pieces, with no movement or captures afterwards. Many of these positional games c ...
