How to play
Goal: leave your opponent without a move by capturing or blocking all their towers. Click or tap a tower, then the square you want to move to.
A checker moves one square diagonally forward. If an enemy tower is next to yours with an empty square behind it, you must capture by jumping over it, forward or backward. A chain of captures has to be completed.
When you capture, the top checker of the enemy tower goes to the bottom of yours. The top checker of a tower decides its colour and owner.
A checker that reaches the last row becomes a king. Kings move and capture any distance along a diagonal, but cannot turn back during a capture chain. If an endgame with kings goes on for a long time without captures, the game is a draw.
