Pieces or stone move along lines on the board. They may move a single step, or they may leap over a single piece to capture it. A piece that just captured may make another capturing move. Captures are mandatory. The object is to capture all of the opponent's men or move your last stone to the center space.
 
 
Ljura is a variant of an ancient Indian game Lau Kati Kata. However, in Lau Kati Kata, the goal is just to capture all of the opponent's men and the starting player always wins. In Ljura, the starting player seems to have an advantige, but the second player still has a chance.
 
Ljura is a suburb of my beloved Norrköping, Sweden.
