Game rules
Kings is a 2-player game, here's how to play:
- Objective: Capture all of your opponent's pieces or block them so they cannot make any legal moves.
- Game setup: Played on an 8x8 board using only the dark squares; each player starts with 12 pieces placed on the three rows closest to them.
- Gameplay:
- Regular pieces move one square diagonally forward.
- Capturing:
- Pieces capture by jumping over an adjacent opponent's piece to an empty square directly beyond.
- Multiple captures are allowed in one turn if possible.
- If a capture is possible, it must be taken. Players can choose their preferred sequence if multiple captures are available.
- Promotion to King:
- A piece becomes a 'King' when it reaches the opponent's back row.
- Kings can move and capture both forward and backward by one square.
- A turn ends immediately after a piece is promoted to a King, even if a subsequent capture would be possible.
- Winning the game: The game ends when a player captures all the opponent's pieces or blocks them from making any legal moves.
