How to Play
Each player has 16 men; the row nearest you stays EMPTY and the men are lined up on the two rows behind it. You play the bottom (🔴 red) side; the computer plays the top (⚪ white).
Men move one square straight FORWARD or SIDEWAYS — never diagonally, never backwards.
CAPTURING: jump over an adjacent enemy piece (ahead or beside you) to the empty square directly beyond it. Capturing is MANDATORY — if you can jump, you must.
CHAINS: if your piece can keep jumping, you must continue with the same piece. If several chains exist you MUST take the one capturing the MOST pieces; among equal-length chains the choice is free. Also, a king may not turn 180 degrees between two captures.
KING: a man reaching the far row becomes a KING 👑 — it slides any distance straight in all four directions, captures by leaping, and may land on any empty square behind the captured piece. If you reach the last row during a capture chain, you promote immediately and keep capturing as a king.
A player with no legal move (no pieces or blocked) loses the game.
