When it’s your turn…

• you first move one of your bases and then one of your tops, only in that order.
• you must move a base and a top unless this isn’t possible. If all bases or tops are blocked, you only move what can be moved. If everything is blocked, you may pass.

A base may…

• only be moved if it has no top.
• only move straight ahead; never diagonally or backwards.
• take just one step per turn.
• only exchange places with an empty base of the opponent that is placed right in front of it. This way, they can pass each other.

Empty bases may exchange places

A top may…

• only move via bases and never touch the board.
• only move diagonally forward; never straight ahead or backwards.
• only be placed on an empty base, either yours or your opponent’s.
• at every turn, either sprint (A) or strike (B).

A: Sprint

Move one or more places in one go. You decide how many.

In a straight line; no turns allowed.

Over a continuous row of empty bases; not over empty spots.

B: Strike

• Striking is not mandatory.
• Remove the captured top from the board.
• You can’t strike backwards.

Move from a base next to the top of the opponent to an empty base right behind it.

Jump over one top; not several in a row.

One strike only per turn.
