How to play

Your twelve checkers start along opposite edges. A checker moves in a straight line — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — exactly as many squares as there are checkers of either colour anywhere on that whole line.

You may leap your own checkers but not the enemy's, and you may land on an enemy checker to capture it. The goal is to bring ALL of your remaining checkers into one connected group (touching orthogonally or diagonally); a lone checker counts as connected.

If a move connects both sides at once, the player who moved wins.
