Movement Rules
Moves
Pieces may only move forvard, backward or sideways, not
diagonals. Each player in turn moves one of their pieces.
Pieces must move the full number of squares indecated by the
figure facing that direction. Players must not land on one of
their own pieces.
Jumping
Players may jump over their own pieces without affecting them,
either to make a simple position move, or to capture opponent's
pieces.
Capturing the pieces
Any opponent's pieces which are either jumped over or landed on
are won and removed from the board. Up to four pieces can be
won in a move. Players do not have to take.
Winning the game
As soon as a player lands a piece over the Borderline into the
opponents home territory, the game ends. The game can also be won
by capturing all you opponent's pieces, but this is rare.
