How to play
- Men move diagonally forward, one square at a time.
- Kings are "flying": they move and capture across any number of empty squares along a line.
Captures
- Captures are made diagonally, jumping over an adjacent enemy piece.
- Men may capture forward only.
- Men are allowed to capture kings.
- Capturing is mandatory, and you must take the sequence that captures the most pieces.
- When the piece count is equal, you must take the sequence that captures the most kings.
- A man that crosses the last row mid-capture stays a man and keeps capturing; it promotes only if the move ends on the last row.
