Rules

• Goal: Eliminate your opponent(s)' pawns.
• Moving, taking and replacing:
  • A pawn can move by jumps of one tile, in any way.
  • One can jump over any pawn, one at a time, but never backwards.
  • To take out an enemy pawn, one must place two of his pawns on each side, in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal axis.
  • The pawn is then taken out of the board, and replaced by one of the two pawns that took it out.
  • If more than one enemy pawns are taken in a same move, they'll be all taken out of the board before doing the replacement.
  • If replacing a pawn lets you take out other ones, they must be removed first, and followed by more replacements.
  • Taking pawns is mandatory when possible, and unlimited.
  • If a player is forced to take pawns at the beginning of his turn, he makes his take, his replacement, and his turn is over.
  • If he can take a pawn while it's not his turn (in 3 or 4 players games), he'll wait for his turn, and make his take if it is still possible.
  • A player's turn is over when he did all the possible takes and replacements.
• Special tile:
  • The tile at the center of the board is special. It allows to move again on one of the seven free adjacent tiles.
  • One can't stop on the special tile.
  • The special tile is not accessible by jumping over a pawn.
• End of game:
  • The winner is the one who's the last to have at least three pawns on the board.
  • As soon as a player only has two pawns left, and he can't take an opponent's pawn out just after, he loses and his pawns are put out.
  • If, after having lost his pawn, he can take another pawn with doing a move, it's a draw.
