Rules

  • Captures are mandatory: if you can jump, you must.
  • A man moves one square forward, but it may capture in any diagonal direction, including backward.
  • If the same piece can take another enemy piece right after, it must keep jumping in the same turn. This is a chain capture, and it runs until no more captures are available.
  • Reach the far row to crown a King. Kings fly: they move any number of free squares along a diagonal, and capture an enemy piece at any distance by landing on a free square beyond it, then keep chaining.
