The Redwall Series Tactical Game (RSTG) simulates the situations described by Brian Jacques in his Redwall-series books. Now, with RSTG, you and another person may attempt to do better (or worse!) than the characters in his novels did.
Each scenario includes a map based on the one(s) provided in the book and important characters with their abilities derived from the book (such as special tree-climbing skills for squirrels).
To play RSTG, one must be able to predict and look ahead into other possible moves. The game's interface is similar to a chessboard.
