Each player has 1 large piece (his Captain), 8 smaller pieces (his soldiers), and 5 red wall pieces.
The Captains start the game on the red spaces, surrounded by their soldiers. Walls are placed at the start of the game and cannot be moved or jumped but must be moved around. All other pieces move one space at a time, one per turn. Pieces are taken by jumping directly over an opponent's piece with a space to land on the other side (like in Checkers). You may also jump your own man and go on to take your opponents piece or pieces. You must jump an opponent's piece if it is left in a space beside one of your own men. The object of the game is to take your opponent's Captain.
The game is over when one players Captain piece is taken or when it is your turn to move and you are unable to.
