Description
As simple as checkers... as strategic as chess.

Instructions

AIM: Capture your opponent's pieces by surrounding it on opposing sides. When your opponent has only two pieces left, or cannot move on his/her turn, then you have won the game.

PLAY: Players take turns moving one piece per turn. The pieces may be moved 'forward' (toward or away from the centre of the board) or 'sideways' (left or right around the ring). The pieces may be moved as far as the player wishes, but must not leave the board on the outside, enter the dead zone, move diagonally or 'jump' a piece in its way.

To capture a piece, you must move your piece so that it completes a 'surround', and the captured piece is removed from the board. More than one piece may be captured simultaneously, if each piece is surrounded by the just-moved piece and one other of your pieces. Moving a piece voluntarily between two of your opponent's pieces does not result in a capture.
