Overview
Capture the Opponent's Empire Base
Turn
On your turn, you must make a minimum of 6 movements
Each piece can only move up to its value, e.g. a 4 can only move up to 4 spaces, so a 4 + a 2 moving full will count as the minimum required, likewise 3 4s moving at half speed (2) would count towards the minimum of 6
The Emblem, with no number, can be moved up to 12 spaces, if it is moved after a small army, no other small armies can be moved that turn. The Emblem is the only piece that can be stationed on your Empire Base
A single move is from one dot to another dot connected by a line, in any viable direction
A piece may never enter the same space more than once, but can freely change direction during its move (e.g. it could go left, up, right, up)
A piece cannot be moved a second time in the same turn even if it had moves remaining
Capturing
If your piece lands on an opponent piece, this ends its move and removes the opponent piece from the board
2s can only capture if they moved in an L shape
4s can jump a piece before resolving the remainder of their move, but this jumped piece isn't captured
