Rules

The player can make two kinds of moves, either

  1. place a new piece on an empty square next to one of her pieces, or
  2. take one of her pieces and move it in any direction over one square to an empty square, this is called jumping.

Once the move is made, all opponent's pieces adjacent to the new or moved piece are captured, ie. they are converted to the color of the moving player.

If the player has no legal moves, she has to pass. However, if the player has legal moves, she cannot pass her turn.

The game ends when the board is full or one of the players loses all her pieces; the player with more pieces wins.

How to play

You'll play with the light pieces example of a light piece and the Artificial Intelligence uses the dark pieces example of a dark piece.

Placing a new piece is done by clicking an empty square. These are marked with a little dot example of a helper dot. To jump you have to first select the piece you want to move and after that click where you want the piece moved.

Your turn is passed automatically, if no legal moves exist.

Jumping piece is marked with a dot example of jumping piece marked with a dot. You can cancel the jump by clicking the piece again.

Last move by the Artificial Intelligence is marked with, you guessed it!, a dot example of opponent's piece marked with a dot.
