How to play

  1. You start with 7 stones on your home row. Your goal is the far side.
  2. On your turn, move one stone forward or diagonally forward into an empty cell.
  3. Or jump straight over an adjacent stone in one of those directions, into the empty cell beyond. Jump an opponent's stone and you capture it. Jump your own and you just move further.
  4. A stone that reaches the far row is banked: it leaves the board and scores.
  5. First to bank 3 wins. If you can no longer get 3 across, you lose.
  6. No backward or sideways moves. If you have no legal move, your turn is skipped.

Tip: don't stand next to an enemy stone with an empty cell behind you, unless a friend is covering it.
