MATERIALS
- An octagonal Salta board
- 30 pieces per player, including special "jump" and "blocking" pieces
HOW TO PLAY
1
Each player arranges their pieces in the starting rows on their side of the octagonal board.
2
Players move one piece per turn, either sliding it to an adjacent open space or jumping it over a neighboring piece to capture it.
3
Special jump pieces may leap over several pieces in one turn if the landing spaces are clear, capturing each piece jumped.
4
Blocking pieces cannot capture or be captured, and can be used defensively to protect key spaces.
5
The game ends when one player has captured enough opposing pieces, or safely moved a set number of pieces into the opposite camp.
