The gameplay adheres closely to traditional rules: each player begins with 16 pieces positioned on their side's first two rows, leaving the central row empty. Players alternate turns, moving one piece to an adjacent vacant intersection along a line. Capturing occurs via jumps over opponent pieces into empty spaces directly beyond them; multiple capture moves are permitted within a single turn if conditions allow. Moving backward over previously occupied points or revisiting just vacated positions is restricted. The game concludes when a player captures all opposing pieces or effectively blocks their movements, resulting in victory for the leader.
