About the Game

A game similar to Checkers but played on a board with 10 rows of 4 points each (with two players) or a triangle with 9 points on a side (with three players). Players each have 12 double-sided pieces (with two) or 9 cubes (with three). Pieces move forwards and jump to capture; capturing is compulsory and multiple captures may be made.

A captured piece is not removed but instead flipped to display the capturing player's color.

A piece which reaches the opposite end of the board is immediately removed and is replaced on the near end of the board before the player's next turn (or as soon as there is a space for it).

If a player cannot move forwards they must more backwards without capturing. The game ends when one player cannot move at all or has no pieces.
