Game rules

Objective: Capture all of your opponent's pieces or ensure they can no longer make a valid move.

How to play

  1. Players take turns moving one piece diagonally forward to a free dark square.
  2. If you can jump over an adjacent opponent's piece to an empty square, you capture that piece. If further captures are possible, you continue the same turn.
  3. When a regular piece reaches the far side, it becomes a king and may move both forward and backward according to the game variant.
  4. First select the piece, then the highlighted target square.

End of the game: You win when the opponent has no pieces left or can no longer make a valid move.
