MATERIALS
- A 6x6 grid board with looping curved tracks at each corner
- 12 pieces per player
MEASUREMENTS
6x6 grid with eight looping arcs connecting the outer rows and columns at the corners.
HOW TO PLAY
1
Set up 12 pieces per side filling the two rows closest to each player, leaving the center four rows empty.
2
On a non-capturing turn, slide a piece any distance along an open row, column, or corner loop, but you may not capture this way.
3
To capture, move a piece along a path that travels through at least one of the curved corner loops and lands exactly on an opposing piece.
4
Only pieces on the outer rings can use the loop tracks; captures must follow the loop's exact path with no obstruction.
5
Continue alternating turns, capturing whenever a valid looping path exists.
6
The game ends when one player has captured all of the opponent's pieces, or that player concedes.
