Each player starts with 12 pieces on the dark squares of their three nearest rows. Dark pieces move first.
Drag your piece one square diagonally forward onto an empty dark square. Regular pieces can only move forward.
Jump over an adjacent opponent piece to an empty square beyond it. Multiple jumps in one turn are possible — and mandatory when available!
Reach the opposite end of the board to crown your piece a King. Kings can move and capture both forward and backward.
