Neighboring moves; every capture uses at least one loop.

THE ESSENTIALS

How to Play

  1. Twelve pieces per camp. A normal move goes to an adjacent empty point, including diagonals.
  2. To capture, follow a free horizontal or vertical line and at least one loop. No piece may be crossed.
  3. The first piece encountered after a loop can be taken if it belongs to the opponent. Capture is optional.
  4. Eliminate the opposing pieces. Friendly convention: a blocked player loses; draw after three repetitions or 100 moves without a capture.
