Rules Each turn, the player to move has to move one of his pieces, in a straight line, exactly as many squares as there are pieces of either colour anywhere along the line of movement. (These are the Lines of Action). You may jump over your own pieces. You may not jump over your opponent's pieces, but you can capture them by landing on them. The object of the game is to turn your pieces into one connected unit. The connections within the group may be either orthogonal or diagonal. If one player is reduced by captures to a single piece, that is a win for this player. If a move simultaneously creates a single connected unit for both the player moving and the opponent, the player moving wins. If a player cannot move, this player loses If a position with the same player to move occurs for the second time, the game is drawn. Game invented by Claude Soucie, around 1960.
