One player has dark pieces, and the other has light pieces. Only the dark squares on the board are used. The player with the light pieces makes the first move unless stated otherwise. Pieces move diagonally forward. Pieces of the opponent are captured by jumping over them. A piece that is captured is removed from the board. The player who has no pieces left or cannot move anymore has lost the game. Uncrowned pieces move diagonally forwards one square at a time and capture other pieces by making two steps in the same direction, jumping over the opponent's piece on the next diagonal square. Lots of opposing pieces may be captured in a single turn provided this is done by successive jumps made by a single piece. Pieces can only capture forwards. When pieces reach the farthest row forward-they become kings, marked by placing an additional piece on top of the first, and acquire additional powers including the ability to move, and capture, backwards.
