How to play
Tap one of your pieces and then a lit square to move there. Men go one step diagonally forward; a piece that arrives on the far row is crowned and may then travel in both directions.
When an opposing piece can be jumped, you have to jump it. Carry on tapping lit squares to follow a chain of jumps all the way along.
Capture every enemy piece, or leave your opponent unable to move, and the game is yours. “Take back” reverses your last move and the reply to it.
A tip
Leave your back row in place as long as you can, since it keeps the other side from crowning a piece.
Swap pieces off once you are ahead, and keep hold of the middle of the board.
