This Goldfinger game is loosely based on the Vault fight from the film. It’s an abstract strategy game: Bond’s me are trying to capture Goldfinger, while Goldfinger is trying to escape.
You take turns moving your men around. They can be moved in a straight line as far as you want until they hit an obstruction (another figure). If you have two of your men surrounding one of your opponent’s piece, you will remove them from the game.
Goldfinger is safe when standing on his exclusive centre square – Bond needs to completely surround him on all four sides to capture him there, although standard rules apply everywhere else. While the number of pieces seems unfair (Bond has a lot more), the game is balanced as Goldfinger just needs a clean run to the edge of the board to escape and win.
This game is a version of an ancient game called “Tafl”, which is sometimes referred to as just “Viking Game”.
