A strategic game for two, three, or four players is disclosed. The players, utilizing nine playing pieces each, engage in a strategic game on an original game board. The objective of the games is for a princess and her team of patriots to win over all of the other princesses, and vice versa. The game board comprises four square kingdoms separated by two intersecting blank rectangles that form a cross in the middle. Each kingdom consists of twenty five intersecting points for each player. Each set of playing pieces, including a princess, an angel, an elephant, an eagle, a horse, a tiger, and three monkeys, is distinguished from the other sets by differentiating characteristics such as colors for each player. The starting positions and movements of the playing pieces on the game board proceed according to a set of game rules. The game ends when a princess wins over all of the other princesses. The game board, the thirty six playing pieces, and their movement abilities under the game rules form a novel, intellectually challenging, and entertaining strategic game.
