ABOUT THIS GAME

What to expect

The players make their moves one at a time. The whites go first. A move is the movement of one of the pieces of its color available on the board to any allowed field according to the rules of movement of the pieces or the setting of a piece that is in reserve. The pieces in reserve are pieces taken from the opponent. When the figures reach the enemy's camp, they can be strengthened, transformed. When transformed, the figure turns over.
