15 | It seems that the color of pieces starting the game isn't really determined, | |
16 | so I decided to start with black stones, as in Go game or Othello. | |
17 | The following is mostly copy-paste from Wikipedia: | |

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. | |
