The board begins empty. The players each drop a knight anywhere on the board. After that, the players alternate moving their knight. When a knight moves from a square he leaves behind his banner to show he's already claimed that space. The object is to get five of your banners in a row in any direction.
 
To move, click on the square you want to move to, not the knight. A knight may not land on the other knight or a space marked with a banner. If a knight becomes trapped and unable to make a move, the player automatically forfeits the game.
