+ It seems that the color of pieces starting the game isn't really determined,
+ so I decided to start with black stones, as in Go game or Othello.
+ The following is mostly copy-paste from Wikipedia:
+
+p.
+ The game is played on a 5×6 board, which is empty at the beginning of the
+ game. Each player has twelve pieces in hand. Players alternate turns,
+ with Black moving first. In a move, a player may either:
+ul
+ li Place a piece in hand on any empty cell of the board.
+ li.
+ Move one of their pieces already on the board orthogonally to an empty
+ adjacent cell.
+ li.
+ Capture an opponent's piece if it is orthogonally adjacent to a player's
+ piece, by jumping to the empty cell immediately beyond it.
+ The captured piece is removed from the board, and the capturing player
+ removes another of the opponent's pieces of his choosing from the board.

+p.
+ The game ends when a player has no stones on the board (after move 1),
+ or if he cannot play a move. He loses in both cases.
+ If only a low number of pieces remain on the board, captures might be
+ impossible and after a sequences of attempts players may agree on a draw.
+
+h4 Notes
+
+p Two consecutive normal moves cannot cancel each other.
+
+p To remove a stone after a capture, simply click on it.
