MATERIALS
- A Fanorona board (5x9 grid of intersections with diagonal lines)
- 22 pieces per player in two colors
HOW TO PLAY
1
Set up pieces on the intersections, filling most of the board and leaving the center point empty.
2
Move a piece one step along any line from its intersection, including diagonals where the board marks them.
3
Capture by approaching an opposing piece so the line continues one more empty step beyond it, or by withdrawing away from it the same way, removing every opposing piece in that straight line.
4
A single move can chain multiple captures in different directions if the position allows.
5
The game ends when one player has captured all of the opponent's pieces, or a player with far fewer pieces concedes.
