Rightmost corner square on each player's side is dark
Each player starts with 12 pieces placed on dark squares of the first three rows
Dark pieces move first
Movement
Men move forward diagonally one square at a time
When a man reaches the opposite end, it becomes a King
Kings move forward or backward diagonally along entire diagonal lines
Captures and Jumps
Capture by jumping over an opponent's piece to a vacant square beyond
Captures are mandatory
Choose from multiple capture opportunities
If a mandatory capture is missed, the piece may be “huffed” (removed)
