How to play

  1. A 6×6 board. The second and fifth lines form the inner circuit, the third and fourth the outer; loops join them at the corners.
  2. Twelve pieces each on the two rows nearest you. White moves first.
  3. A step: one square in any of eight directions to an empty square.
  4. A capture: travel along a circuit line through empty squares, round at least one loop, and land on the first enemy you meet. You may pass over your own starting square.
  5. Take every enemy piece to win. Fifty moves without a capture is a draw.
