'''Regicide''' is a an ancient strategy game played in the [[Imperium]] with similarities to [[M2]]-era [[Wikipedia:chess|chess]] and can be played on a circular board.{{Fn|2}}. {{Fn|9}} The game is simple to learn, but difficult to master and is played across all classes from lowly refresherscrubbers to [[Hive|spire]] nobility. Many [[Imperial Guard]] officers play as well and hone their tactical senses in games with small sets that can fold into their combat kit.{{Fn|3}} Some in the Imperium would describe it as a game played by generals and statesmen.{{Fn|7}}

==Rules of the Game==Many variations of Regicide have been played throughout the Imperium across its history, with variations including the use of 'hooded' pieces, which play as a different piece until revealed.{{Fn|4}}A ‘hooded’ board meant that several pieces, predetermined before the commencement of the game, were held in reserve. When deployed, such pieces would remain hidden, represented as lowly Citizens, until such time as they turned or killed another piece.{{Fn|4}} Another common variation of Regicide is [[Castles]] and dates back to before the [[Great Crusade]].{{Fn|10}} Double Regicide is another variation. It features two boards in parallel, one played backwards using militants as crowning pieces, the other played long with sentries wild and a freedom to regent-up on white-square takes after the third sequence of play.{{Fn|11}} ===Board===A circular playing field isn't an uncommon configuration. It is divided into segments, each of which made up of nexuses conjoined by the curved lines that gives the board its shape. Six spokes jut from the main nexus, the core.
