Resum de les regles
Overview
Catch your enemy's lion to win
Pieces
The pieces can be moved in the directions denoted by their dots.
Chicks can move forward one space.
The Chick can be promoted to a Hen if it exits on the opponent's side. The Chick wont be promoted if it is placed in the back row.
Hens can be moved similar to Lions except can not move diagonally backwards
A captured Hen always downgrades to a Chick
A lion can move one space in any direction.
A Lion cannot knowingly move into a space where it could then be captured.
An elephant can move one space diagonally.
A giraffe can move one space left, right, forward or back.
Turn
On your turn, pick one of your pieces and move it one space in an allowed direction (but you cannot move into your own pieces)
Alternatively, you may place a piece out onto the board
If you move your piece onto an opponent non-Lion piece, capture it and keep it to your side ready to deploy
Game End
There are four ways to end the game
First, if the same actions are repeated 3 times, there is a draw
If you catch your opponent's lion, you win!
If your Lion exits on the opponent's side, you win! However, you lose if your Lion is caught right after he reaches there
If you cannot make a move, you lose
