How to play

All 32 pieces start face down. On your turn, do one of these:

• Flip any face-down piece.
• Move one of your pieces one square up, down, left or right into an empty square.
• Capture an adjacent face-up enemy piece of equal or lower rank.

The first piece flipped decides that player's color.

🦖 > 🐅 > 🐘 > 🐫 > 🐎 > 🐸 > 🐝

• 🐝 beats 🦖: a 🐝 can capture the 🦖, but the 🦖 cannot capture a 🐝.
• 🐸 jumps: the 🐸 moves one step, but captures only by jumping over exactly one piece (face up or down) in a straight line, any distance, landing on a face-up enemy piece of any rank.

Chase limit: if you move a piece so it can capture an enemy piece and that piece moves away, you may chase it with the same piece at most 5 times in a row. After that, make some other move.

Win by capturing all enemy pieces or leaving your opponent with no legal move. Draw after 50 turns in a row with no flip or capture.

Pieces per side: 1 🦖, 2 🐅, 2 🐘, 2 🐫, 2 🐎, 2 🐸, 5 🐝.
