THE RULES – LEARNED IN 2 MINUTES
A stone moves along the lines to a free neighboring point. If an opponent is next to it, it is the field
free behind it, he is jumped over and beaten. Hitting is mandatory - and whoever can start a chain
must finish it. If a stone reaches the opponent's home row, he becomes the mullah and controls it
board from a distance.
SO SIMPLE, SO DEEP
You'll learn the rules in less than 2 minutes. But to become a master you need tactics, patience
and foresight. The self-learning AI challenges you at every level - and never gives up on getting better.
