Tips for playing

  • Do not apply diagonal-checkers habits; scan rows and columns before every move.
  • Keep pieces supporting adjacent lanes so a capture does not open a long route.
  • Use AI mode to learn the unfamiliar starting formation before an online match.

Why we picked this game

It adds a less common board-game ruleset with local, online and practice modes.

What to know before playing

Players familiar only with diagonal draughts need time to adjust to the orthogonal rules.
