Move diagonally
Stones step one square diagonally forward, toward the far side of the board.
Captures are mandatory
If you can jump an enemy stone, you must, and jumps chain together, clearing several stones in one turn.
Crown your stones
Reach the far row and your stone is crowned. A crowned piece flies any distance along the diagonals.
Win the board
Capture or block every enemy stone to win. Host picks the board: quick 8×8 or the full 10×10 game.
