- Area Control — Points are gained through area control based on the number of checkers in matching regions as determined by drawn cards.
- Capture — Jumping over an opponent's piece captures it.
- Card Drafting — A card is drawn at the end of each turn, and when it reaches the end of a track, it is resolved for scoring.
- Checkers movement — Players make two checkers moves with different pieces, including diagonal movement, jumping over single checkers, or chaining jump moves. Pieces can move forwards or backwards.
- kinging — A piece is kinged when it enters a space with a crown or jumps an opposing king. Kings count as two pieces and break ties.
