  | Capture the ball, pass it among your pieces and bring it to the

p.
  At the beginning, there is a ball in the center of the 9x9 board.
  It doesn't move. The first piece to capture it will then hold the ball.

  li.
    "Capturing" an enemy unit holding the ball steals it,
    and either capture the piece by replacement or leave it in place:
    choose the option "D" for "distant".
    In place captures cannot be undone by opponent.
  li.
    "Capturing" a friendly unit pass the ball to it, or take the ball
    from it. In both cases the pieces don't move.

p.
  All pieces represent players on a field of some ball game,
  so they can move up to three squares only for a better realism.

p.
  To balance the advantage of ball possession, the piece holding the ball
  cannot capture enemy pieces.
