The goal is to be the first player to return all of their pieces home safely by moving them
across and off the board.
Players choose Salt white or Pepper black, and using 15 pieces each, are represented by
that color throughout the game.
Players arrange their 15 pieces on the furthest three ranks of the opposite side of the board.
15 Salt pieces are placed on the dark squares, 15 Pepper pieces are placed on the light
squares.
Taking turns, players move one piece at a time in their respective direction toward
themselves. Salt pieces move diagonally, Pepper pieces move orthogonally.
No two pieces may occupy the same square.
Players may not move their pieces backward.
A piece is still in play when it reaches the back rank of the player's side and requires
yet another turn to move it off the board. A player able to move their piece off the board
must do so immediately on their next turn. Click on the piece to move it off the board.
A piece may also move off the board by leaping over one opposing piece on the back
rank of the player's side.
If a player is unable to move a piece, the turn is forfeited.
The game is over when only one player remains on the board. The other player who has
moved all of their pieces off the board is the winner.
The variants allow the player to play either as Salt or as Pepper.
