Get the bedspace mug.An ancient Persian game combining elements of checkers and chess.
Uses board of checkers/chess and checkers pieces.
Set-up is like checkers, except each player sets up pieces on opposite-colored spaces.
Regular moves are made diagonally like in regular checkers.
Capturing is done by moving one's piece in a straight line two spaces in which there is an opponent's piece in the space between. Pieces that are not queens or kings can only capture by moving forward.

All types of pieces may capture multiple opponent's pieces on a single move if possible given their abilities described above.
