Rules of the game
Initial position
In the initial position, there are 12 light stones and 12 dark stones on a 9x9 board, arranged in the corners. A red stone is placed in the middle - i.e. on the crown.
Sliding movement
A stone can be moved horizontally or vertically in any direction, but only to its last free square, that is, until it hits an obstacle (another stone) or the end of the game board.
Jumping movement
Outside the marked central area on the board, you can move the stone in an L-shape (like a knight in chess).
Corner movement
A stone can be moved from corner to corner, diagonally, if there is an empty space.
Red stone
The red stone is neutral, anyone can move it and it is shared by both players. However, both players cannot move it in the same turn. In other words, it cannot be moved twice in a row, so that players do not compete for it.
Goal of the game
The goal of the game is to place your own stone in the center with the crown. This is called coronation. Whoever places their stone on the crown first wins.
