The rules originally given by Edgae Rice Burroughs are vague, and a lot of propositions have been made on how to really play Jetan.
Included in this package are six variations: - Chained Jetan
- Chained Civil Jetan
- Chained Wild Jetan
- Free Jetan
- Free Civil Jetan
- Free Wild Jetan
These versions use the following common rules: - The game is played on a 10x10 checkered board.
- The Princess may escape.
- To win, any piece must capture the Princess or the Chief must capture the Chief.
- If the Chief is be taken by any other piece, this is a draw.
- Panthans never promote.
- The actual movement of each piece is subject to rule interpretation.
Choose a rule interpretation by double-clicking on the appropriate zrf file. See the "Game Description" from the "Help" menu in each zrf for detailed rules of that variation.
