10 Little Indians

Among the plains Indians, a great show of bravery and prowess was not to kill an enemy as much as to taunt them. This practice of harassment and intimidation was refered to as "counting coup." This game does not involve capture of the opposing pieces, but keeping score of one's success at passing through target areas on the board (encampments and outposts) while defending one's own lands from the same. Different pieces have different power and value. Should you hold back the braves or corner the chief? Be sure to keep a watchful eye on the powerful medicne man!
