== Overview ==

* Abstract game played on a 9×9 board.
* 2 or 4 players.
* The first player to move their pawn to the opposite side of the board wins.
* Walls can be placed to restrict pawn moves.

== Gameplay ==

* Each player has one pawn which starts in the middle of their respective side.
* 20 walls are distributed equally to all players.
** ''i.e. 2 players: 10 each''
** ''i.e. 4 players: 5 each''
* Players take turns to either:
** Move their pawn
** Place a wall

=== Pawn Movement ===
* Adjacent squares in orthogonal directions.
** ''i.e. forwards, backwards, or sideways.''
* Not through a wall.
* Not onto the same square as another pawn.
* Jump over an orthogonally adjacent pawn:
** When two pawns face each other on neighboring squares which are not separated by a fence:
*** The player whose turn it is can jump the opponent’s pawn (and place himself behind him), thus advancing an extra square (fig. "Jump Behind").
**If there is a fence behind the said pawn:
***The player can place his pawn to the left or the right of the other pawn (fig. "Jump Aside")
** Note: jumps are never mandatory.
