Basic Gamerules
The first player will be the red player and starts at the bottom of the
Gamearea. The second player will be the blue player and starts at the
top of the Gamearea.
Winning is achieved by accomplishing on of the following goals:
1. Get a stone of your color to the baseline on the opposite side
2. Hit(=remove) all stones of your opponent.
In one turn you can do one of the following moves:
1. Move one stone of your stones straight or diagonally onto an empty
field directly in front of you.
2. Hit (and therefor remove) an opponent stone diagonally. (Not
straight!)
The red player gets the first turn.
You and your opponent will do your turns alternating.
