Pieces Required:
20 Tiles
12 Piece Bases
6 White Checker Pieces
6 Black Checker Pieces
12 Pawn Heads
Starting Layout:
Start with a 4x5 board with 12 pawns that start off of the board.
Rules:
The game starts with players taking turns placing pawns on any vacant space on the board. Once placement is finished the game can begin.
Movement:
On your turn you have two options
A pawn can be moved one space in any direction (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally)
A pawn can also jump over a piece in any direction (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). However, after jumping, if the pawn had a head, remove it and if the pawn was headless, put the head pack on.
Prior to moving you may remove a tile that does not have surrounding tiles on opposite sides (ie one above and one below or one to the left and another to the right). You may then move this tile anywhere. However, on your move you must move a piece onto the tile using one of the two moves above.
Ending the Game:
When someone gets four headless pawns in a row, that player wins.
