Move your pieces diagonally toward the far side. If a capture is available you must take it, and jumps chain together in a single turn. Reach the last rank to crown a king, which moves both forward and backward. Capture every enemy piece — or block every move they have — to win.
Tips & tricks
Control the center and keep your back row intact early: those squares birth enemy kings. Trade pieces when ahead, avoid trades when behind. Before every move, check what the forced-capture rule lets your opponent do to you — most losses come from jumps you handed over.
