5x5 grid of points, with each player's eight pieces starting in the two corners diagonally opposite each other.

Place each player's eight pieces in a triangular cluster in their own corner of the board, diagonally opposite the other player's cluster.
2
On your turn, move one piece diagonally to an adjacent empty point.
3
There is no jumping and no capturing; pieces simply reposition around the board.

The goal is to move all of your pieces into the corner where your opponent started.
5
Players alternate single diagonal moves until one side completes the swap.
6
The first player to relocate their entire cluster to the opposite corner wins.
