Game of the Generals is a strategic war game for two players that simulates armies maneuvering on a 9x8 game board. Each player controls 21 pieces of varying ranks from private to 5-star general. The objective is to eliminate the opponent's flag piece or maneuver your own flag to the opponent's side of the board. Players take turns moving one piece per turn and can challenge opposing pieces occupying the same space, with the higher ranked piece winning in a challenge. The game ends when a flag is captured, reaches the end of the board, or players agree to a draw.
