Posse: Thirteen Against One is a Milton Bradley Company strategy game published in 1970.
Description
Components
The 1970 edition has
- a plastic pegboard with 33 holes in the shape of a Cross pattée. The holes are connected orthoganally by lines.
- 13 white pegs (representing the posse)
- 1 red peg (the outlaw)
The 1978 edition replaces the pegboard with an illustrated cardstock board, and the pegs with illustrated cardstock figures mounted in plastic bases.[1]
Set up
The posse pegs/counters are placed on side of the board. The outlaw peg is placed in a marked space on the opposite side of the board.
Gameplay
The outlaw moves first and can move one space along any line. The player with the posse moves one peg/counter along any line. Play then alternates. Similar to checkers, if the outlaw can jump over a posse member into a vacant hole, then the jumped posse member is removed from the board. The outlaw can continue to jump over as many posse members in one turn as long as there are vacant spaces to land in after each jump.[1]
Victory conditions
The posse wins if it corners the outlaw in such a way that the outlaw has no legal move. The outlaw wins if it removes enough posse members that the posse can no longer force a victory.[1]
Publication history
Milton Bradley first published Posse: Thirteen Against One in 1970 as an abstract plastic pegboard and peg game.[2] The company re-published the game in 1978 as Outlaw & Posse, replacing the plastic pegboard and pegs with illustrated cardboard components.[1]
