Pieces Required:
26 light colored tiles
10 dark colored tiles
10 piece bases
4 pawn heads
3 rook heads
3 knight heads
5 black checker pieces
5 white checker pieces
Initial Board Layout:
Setup the tiles according to the diagram above. The light tiles are the playing surface for the pieces and the dark tiles are the walls. Additionally create 5 pieces of each color: 2 pawns and 3 rooks for black and 2 pawns and 3 knights for white.
Setting up the Pieces:
White starts by placing its 5 pieces anywhere on the right side of the board. Next black places its 5 pieces on the left side of the board.
Movement:
White makes the first move. On your turn you can move up to 2 pieces and then do a push.
Moving a piece - To move a piece move it any number of tiles along vertically or horizontally adjacent spaces. You need not move in a straight line.
Making a push - To make a push, choose one of your rooks or knights adjacent another piece and push that piece away and place your piece on that piece's old tile. You may push more than one piece as long as the last piece has room to move (or fall of the board). Remember that the dark tiles are walls, so piece may never end up on a dark tile.
After a push, remove the head of the piece that made the push. The head stays off until another push is made. Headless piece may not be pushed, they are rooted to the spot they are on.
Ending the Game:
The game ends when a piece is pushed of the board. If your opponent's piece is pushed of the board then you win. Additionally, if a player cannot make a push on their turn, then they lose.
