RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to get your pawn to the opposite side of the board. Layout the board and each player selects a pawn. In a 2 player game players place their pawns in the center outer most space across from each other and each player takes 10 fences. In a 4 player game, the other 2 pawns occupy the other outer most middle spaces and each player gets 5 fences. Pick a player to go first then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn you must either move your piece or place one of your fences.

Pieces move orthogonally 1 space in any direction, but not diagonally. Pieces may not move off the board, nor through a fence. Pieces may jump over 1 piece in its way to the space behind it. If that space is blocked by another piece or a fence, then the piece may jump it to either the right or left. If both those spaces are blocked, then the piece may not move that direction.

When you place a fence, it must be placed on its long edge next to 2 full squares. Fences may be placed to impede players’ movement but there must always be at least one unobstructed path from each pieces current location to at least 1 square at their target destination. Once placed, fences may not be moved. The first player to get their pawn to the opposite side of the board, wins.
