How to play
Pieces stand on the dark squares and move one step diagonally forward. If one of your opponent's pieces is diagonally in front of you and the square behind it is empty, you jump over it and take it – and if you can jump again with the same piece, you keep going. Jumping is required! When a piece reaches your opponent's last row, it becomes a king ♛, which can move both forward and backward. The player who cannot move has lost.
