A game of castle checkers. Quoted from the rules; "Siege is an entirely new concept in strategy games with all the speed of Draughts and the intensity of Chess, plus the much desired feature of accommodating 2, 3 or 4 players. In a unique and fascinating method of play, interlocking Towers, Walls and Moats are manoeuvred across the board and assembled into Castles on a goal line."

Build a castle with 3 pieces. Play ends when all 12 pieces are assembled to form 4 complete castles.
This edition is rare and unusual. The US game originally was called Troke. Siege stick-on labels have been used to cover the original title. Perhaps this edition is a trial print run of the amended game for the UK market.
