Jump over an opponent's piece to capture it; multiple jumps in one turn are allowed. When a piece reaches the far row it becomes a King and can move and capture backward as well as forward. You must capture when possible. The player who loses all pieces or cannot move loses. Start a game from the play button, then choose to play against the computer or a friend.
