A piece may move one position along a line. It may capture by approach: after it moves, an enemy piece (or an unbroken string of enemy pieces) adjacent to it along its line of movement are taken. It may instead capture by withdrawal: if it begins its move adjacent to an enemy piece (or unbroken string) and moves directly away, the enemy piece(s) are taken.

Captured pieces are flipped.

Capturing is not mandatory if a simple move is possible.

A piece that just captured may make another capturing move, though it must change directions with every capture and (in this version) it may not immediately return to the point it just occupied. A piece may stop any time after making one or more captures, but at the start of the turn must play a capture if one exists.

At the end of a capturing move, the capturing piece is removed from the board.

The object is to capture all of the opponent's men or to stalemate them.
