How to Play

  • Move like a rook: any distance, straight lines, no jumping.
  • Only the king may land on the throne (center) or the four corners.
  • Capture an enemy piece by trapping it between two of yours (or one of yours + a hostile throne/corner) on opposite sides.
  • The king is captured when surrounded on all 4 sides by attackers — attackers win.
  • The defenders win when the king reaches any corner square.
  • Attackers move first.
