Papillon tries to flee the Devil s Island, to do that the piece must be moved off board. The other player tries to catch Papillon. Each piece can move one step per turn. If a piece is enclosed by two opposing pieces, it is taken off the board, but not if a piece actively moves between two pieces. If Papillon is taken off, the game ends. In a variant the pieces can move any distance and Papillon must be enclosed on four sides. Similar to Ard Ri, except on a 9x9 board.
