Game rules: * The game is played on a 8×8 board with alternating dark and light squares. * Each player starts with 12 pieces on the three rows closest to their own side. The row closest to each player is called the "crownhead" or "kings row". The player with white pieces moves first. * Men move forward diagonally to an adjacent unoccupied square. * If a player's piece moves into the kings row on the opposing player's side of the board, that piece to be "crowned", becoming a "king" and gaining the ability to move back or forward and choose on which free square at this diagonal to stop. * If a man becomes king it can continue a capture, it jumps backwards as a king. The player can choose where to land after the capture. * Capturing is mandatory and cannot be passed up to make a non-jumping move. When there is more than one way for a player to capture, one may choose which sequence to make. Player must make all the captures in that chosen sequence. A captured piece is left on the board until all captures in a sequence have been made but cannot be jumped again (Turkish capturing rules). * A player with no valid move remaining loses. This is the case if the player either has no pieces left or if a player's pieces are obstructed from making a legal move by the pieces of the opponent. A game is a draw if neither opponent has the possibility to win the game. The game is considered a draw when the same position repeats itself for the third time, with the same player having the move each time. If one player proposes a draw and his opponent accepts the offer. If a player has three kings in the game against a single enemy king and his 15th move cannot capture enemy king.

Great game. If there's one jump and two jump options, I believe you have to make the maximum jump choice. This game you can choose either. It would be great to see an option for take maximum jump.
★☆☆☆☆Su Waz· Apr 15, 2025
Some of your puzzles have around 14 steps. Let's say I made a mistake at step 11! What is the benefit of repeating the 10 steps I already solved?! Other than being tedious and time waiting?!
