Objective

Capture all of your opponent's pieces, or leave them with no legal moves.

How to Play

1Setup

  1. Use an 8×8 board. Each player places 12 pieces on the dark squares of the three rows closest to them.
  2. Dark pieces move first (or decide by coin flip).
  3. Pieces only move on dark squares.

2Moving

  1. Regular pieces move diagonally forward one square to an empty dark square.
  2. To capture, jump diagonally over an opponent's piece into the empty square beyond it. Remove the captured piece.
  3. If a jump is available, you must take it. Multiple jumps in one turn are allowed (and required if possible).

3Kings

  1. When a piece reaches the opponent's back row, it becomes a King — mark it with a second piece on top.
  2. Kings can move and capture diagonally in any direction.

4Winning

  1. Win by capturing all opponent pieces or leaving them with no legal move.
  2. If neither player can win, the game is a draw.
