GAMEPLAY

As it was said in Basics section, players make their moves alternately, by placing their pawns on the board. The pawns placed on the board are not allowed to be moved. The only thing players can do is to change their color. Actually, the objective of the game is to change the color of the pawns. The player having more pawns in his color wins.

CAPTURING (changing the color)

When the player's pawn lies near the enemy one, and the player puts a new pawn behind the enemy one, it will change its color into the player's color. It is called capturing. A player can capture any number of enemy pawns provided that the pawns are in one row between the two player's pawns. Furthermore capturing during making a move is absolutely obligatory. Actually, when a player cannot capture during his move, he must resign from the move. In the left picture there is a situation just before capturing. When a player puts his white pawn on the highlighted square, two black pawns will have been captured.

Before capturing		After capturing

It means that one pawn can change its owner many times. When a player has more than one possibility of capturing the enemy pawns, he can choose freely and capture the row with the highest number of pawns in it but it is not obligatory. For example, in the situation below: if a player puts his white pawn on the D5 square, he will capture the black pawns from three rows, but he can also put it on the G3 square and capture one.

The game is played till all squares on the board are occupied. The player whose color dominates on the board wins.

OBJECTIVES
