Object: Stalemate your opponent or take all his pieces. You start with Blue. Moves and jumps are diagonally. Pieces either move one step forward or capture an enemy piece by jumping over it. Jumps are forced. The first piece captured is placed underneath the capturing piece. When such a column is captured, the piece underneath is freed. Once a piece reaches the other side of the board, it can move and jump backwards and forward from then on. As a mental hook its colour will change (from light blue to dark blue and from orange to red).
Please note that there is an alternative piece set available.
Mylaska is a simplified version of the game 'Laska' which the world chess champion Emmanuel Lasker invented around 1900. In the original version the column may grow higher than two tokens. For more freeware as well as real puzzles and games see my home page http://karl.kiwi.gen.nz.
