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.
