Grid board commonly sized 8x8 squares

HOW TO PLAY
1

Fill the entire grid with alternating dark and light stones so the board resembles a checkerboard pattern.

2

Remove one of your own stones from a corner or center position to open the first move, then your opponent removes one adjacent to it.

3

On each following turn, jump one of your stones over an adjacent opposing stone into an empty space directly beyond it, in a straight horizontal or vertical line.

4

Remove the jumped opposing stone from the board immediately after the jump.

5

Chain multiple jumps together in a single turn whenever another capturing jump is available from your new position.

6

The game ends when a player cannot make a legal jump on their turn, and that player loses the game.
