About This Game

- What does 'kinging' mean? What can a kinged piece do?
- When your piece reaches the opponent's back row, it gets 'kinged' (crowned). A kinged piece can move and jump both forward and backward, while regular pieces can only move forward. Kinged pieces are significantly more powerful in both attack and defense.
- Can I chain multiple jumps? Is capturing mandatory?
- Yes, you can chain jumps! If after a jump your piece lands where it can jump again, you must continue jumping. Also, when a jump is available you must take it (mandatory capture rule) — you can't choose a regular move instead.
