Description

This game is played on a 6x11 board, with a marked 2x2 area on each side (see diagram on website). The 2x2 areas are the goals, while the spaces that immediately surround the goals are the encampments. Surrounding this are the spaces that are called the runs. On each turn, each player can do one of the following moves: * Move a stone out of the encampment into an adjacent (orthogonal or diagonal) empty cell in the Run. * Move a stone into an empty encampment cell from an adjacent (orthogonal or diagonal) cell from the Run. * Slide a stone in the Run on any orthogonal direction into an empty cell. Jumps are possible over any stone. There are no captures in the Run. * Inside an encampment the stone may move to any empty (orthogonal or diagonal) adjacent cell. Captures are possible (not mandatory) by jumping over an enemy stone - if the stone lands inside the encampment. Captures can be multiple. The player that either occupies his four Goal cells or captures all but 3 of the enemy stones wins.
