Guard & Towers is a stacking game where the goal is to either capture the opposing Guard or take over the opposing fortress by placing your guard on your opponent's starting square.

This game is available commercially from Clemens Gerhards (http://www.gerhards-holzwaren.de/). They do very nice editions indeed, with what appears to be metal bits.

nonzer0 2 Surprisingly deep game with minimalistic rules; it's a great mini-abstract.
unic 2 Very interesting game - playing against Zillions, I first dismissed it as too tactical, but more playings revealed strategical depth which Zillions couldn't handle.
