Move your pieces diagonally forward to an adjacent empty square. Take an opponent's piece by jumping over it to a vacant square immediately beyond. Keep going capturing if another jump is available from the new position. Upgrade your piece to a King when it reaches the farthest row on the opponent's side. Kings can move both forward and backward. Defeat the game by capturing all of your opponent's pieces or by blocking them so they cannot move. Plan your moves to outmaneuver your opponent and control the board.
