| 20 | The game is played on a 5×6 board, which is empty at the beginning of the |
| 21 | game. Each player has twelve pieces in hand. Players alternate turns, |
| 22 | with Black moving first. In a move, a player may either: |
| 23 | ul |
| 24 | li Place a piece in hand on any empty cell of the board. |
| 25 | li. |
| 26 | Move one of their pieces already on the board orthogonally to an empty |
| 27 | adjacent cell. |
| 28 | li. |
| 29 | Capture an opponent's piece if it is orthogonally adjacent to a player's |
| 30 | piece, by jumping to the empty cell immediately beyond it. |
| 31 | The captured piece is removed from the board, and the capturing player |
| 32 | removes another of the opponent's pieces of his choosing from the board. |

| 42 | The game ends when a player has no stones on the board (after move 1), |
| 43 | or if he cannot play a move. He loses in both cases. |
| 44 | If only a low number of pieces remain on the board, captures might be |
| 45 | impossible and after a sequences of attempts players may agree on a draw. |
