How to play

Slide a stone one step along a line to an empty point.

Capture by approach (move toward an enemy line — the stones directly beyond your landing point are taken) or by withdrawal (move away — the stones directly behind your start are taken); if a move offers both, you pick one.

Capturing is compulsory when any capture is available, and the same stone may keep capturing in new directions without revisiting a point. Diagonal lines exist only at the strong points. Capture every enemy stone to win.
