MATERIALS
- A five-by-five grid board with diagonal lines in each square
- 12 pieces per player in two colors
MEASUREMENTS
A 5x5 grid of points connected by horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines.
HOW TO PLAY
1
Set up 12 pieces per side on the points of the grid, filling every point except the center one.
2
Move one piece per turn along a connecting line to an adjacent empty point.
3
Capture an opponent's piece by jumping over it in a straight line into an empty point directly beyond it.
4
If a capture is available, take it; multiple jumps in a single turn are allowed and encouraged when the line of pieces permits.
5
Continue alternating turns, always capturing when possible under your group's chosen rule.
6
The game ends when one player has no pieces left or cannot make a legal move; the other player wins.
