Movement

Players alternate moves, with Red having the first move.
Pieces move in a line horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
A piece moves exactly as many spaces as there are pieces (both friendly and enemy) on the line in which it is moving.

A piece may not jump over an enemy piece

White cannot play a6-d6, even though there are three pieces in row 6. White might instead play a6-c4, moving two spaces because there are two pieces in the diagonal (a6-f1).

A piece may jump over friendly pieces

A player who is reduced to a single piece wins the game, because their pieces are by definition united.

If a move results, due to a capture, in each player having all their pieces in a contiguous body, then either the player moving wins, or the game is a draw, depending on the rules in force.

Example winning move

White has just won with the move b6-c7.
