How to play

Movement
  • Men move diagonally forward, one square at a time.

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.
Promotion
  • A man reaching the last row is promoted and the move ends, even mid-capture.
