Narro is a German English draughts-inspired abstract-strategy board game published by Bütehorn Spiele. The name of the game, Narro, is derived from the German term Narr, which loosely translates to clown. The game is designed for two players, one of which uses square clown-themed pieces while the other uses similar but circular pieces.
Narro is played on a 12x12 square board, with 144 total squares. The board is made up of various colored squares (red, green, blue and yellow) Each player is given three pieces of each color. A piece moves other horizontally or diagonally, but it must move in accordance with its color. (Example: Red pieces move only on red squares, while blue ones move only on blue squares.) Opposing pieces can be captured by "jumping" over them.
The objective of the game is to capture all of the opposing pieces and still have two or more surviving ones left on the board.
