How to play

Movement
  • Men move orthogonally — forward and sideways — one square at a time.
  • Kings are "flying": they move and capture across any number of empty squares along a line.
Captures
  • Captures can be made both diagonally and orthogonally.
  • 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.
Promotion
  • A man reaching the last row is promoted and the move ends, even mid-capture.
