HOW TO PLAY
1

Arrange the king and eight defenders in a cross formation at the center of the board, with the sixteen attackers placed near the four edges.

2

Each piece slides any number of empty squares in a straight line, similar to a rook, without jumping over other pieces.

3

Trap an opposing piece between two of your own pieces to capture and remove it from the board.

4

The defending side wins by moving the king to any edge square of the board.

5

The attacking side wins by surrounding the king on all sides so that it has no legal moves left.
