HOW TO PLAY
1

Players take turns placing one piece at a time onto empty points on the board, without capturing yet during this phase.

2

A piece can capture an adjacent opposing piece by hopping over it into an empty point directly beyond, similar to checkers, removing the jumped piece.

3

Once all pieces are placed, players take turns sliding a piece one step to an adjacent empty point, still capturing by hopping when possible.

4

Captures aren't mandatory, but skipping an available capture can be risky since the opponent may capture that piece next.

5

A player is defeated when they have only two pieces left or can't make a legal move.
