Two players start on opposite sides of an 8 × 8 board, each with twelve pieces of a fixed color on the starting side. Initially, all pieces may move and capture only in a forward diagonal direction (as viewed by the player making the move), but if a piece is "crowned" by reaching the other side of the board, it may then move forward or backward. An opponent's piece may be captured by jumping over it, and the game is won by capturing all the opponent's pieces or by leaving the opponent with no legal moves.
