Dablo Daares derives from southern Lapland. Goal is either to capture the enemy king or all the enemy soldiers (lone king loses). All pieces move by single steps and can capture, by the short leap, in all directions. The soldier can only step in the three forward directions. Promotion does not occur. For the soldier, capture is mandatory. For the king, capture is optional. The king can only be captured by the enemy king. Note! When finalizing a king capture, the king must be pressed.
A piece moves to an empty adjacent point. If an adjacent point is occupied by an enemy piece, of the same rank or lower, and the point directly behind is vacant, then one may jump over it and capture it, as in checkers. Several pieces may be captured like this in a single turn.
Dablo Daares is closely related to Dablot Prejjesne, also implemented in Zillions.
