Each side starts with twelve pieces, placed on the dark squares of the three rows nearest them.
Movement
Pieces move diagonally forward, one square at a time, onto an empty square.
Capturing
Jump diagonally over an adjacent enemy piece into the empty square beyond it to capture it. If a capture is available, you must take it — and if that capture leads into another, the chain must be completed.
Kings
Reach the far row and your piece is crowned. Kings may move diagonally forward or backward, one square at a time.
Winning
Capture every enemy piece, or leave your opponent with no legal move.
