  • 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:

  • 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:
    1. Two squares in the direction of the adjacent pawn.
      • If there is no other pawn, fence or board edge preventing this move to the destination square.
    2. Otherwise one square diagonally.
      • If there is no other pawn, fence or board edge preventing this move to the destination square.
      • i.e. the active pawn moves to the adjacent pawn and then one square at a right angle.
  • Note: jumps are never mandatory.

  • Each wall is two squares long.
  • Must be placed between squares, aligned with the grid.
