Your goal is elimination. Capture all enemy pieces or trap them with zero legal moves. Victory comes through smart positioning and forced captures.

The Core Rules

Move diagonally. Forward only. Dark squares only. See a capture? You must take it. Try dodging? Game stops you cold. Highlights the piece. Plays a warning sound. No escape from mandatory jumps.

King Me

Reach the opposite edge. Boom. King. Now move any number of squares diagonally. Forward. Backward. Total board control. Kings dominate endgame.
