How to play

Take turns on one device. Your armies are ready. Tap a piece, then a marked square to move or attack.
Keep your ranks secret. Pass the screen after each move. Only the active side can see its ranks.
Capture the flag. Higher ranks win fights; equal ranks both leave the board. A player who cannot move loses.

Piece ranks and special moves

Most pieces move one square horizontally or vertically. No piece can enter a lake. Scouts (2) travel in a straight line without jumping, Miners (3) defuse bombs, and a Spy (1) beats a Marshal (10) only when the Spy attacks. Bombs (B) and flags (F) stay put. A piece can’t move back and forth across the same two squares four moves in a row.

Ranks from strongest to weakest: 10 Marshal, 9 General, 8 Colonel, 7 Major, 6 Captain, 5 Lieutenant, 4 Sergeant, 3 Miner, 2 Scout, 1 Spy.
