INTRODUCTION
Bounce is a two-player game played on a square board of any even size. The board is initially filled with a checkerboard pattern of red and blue checkers, except the corner squares, which are unoccupied.
GROUP
A group here is a monocolored, orthogonally interconnected group of checkers.
OBJECT
If, at the conclusion of your turn, all of your checkers are in one group, you win.
PLAY
Starting with Red, players take turns moving one of their checkers to an unoccupied square (if they have a legal move available. The checker you move must be part of a larger group after your move than it was before your move.
CHECKER REMOVAL
If you don't have any legal moves available on your turn, you must instead remove any one of your checkers from the board, concluding your turn.
