RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to connect the center circle to the outer edge of the board though a continues chain of adjacent pawns. Layout the board and each player takes a set of 27 matching colored pawns. Pick a player to go first, then turns alternate.

On your turn, you must place one of your pawns on any empty intersection of lines on the board. If you sandwich one of your opponent’s pawns between two of your own in a continuous line with no gaps in between, then you get to remove their pawn from the board and take another turn. Captured pawns are removed from the game and may not be re-placed on future turns. You may capture again on your bonus turn, and continue to gain successive extra turns. If you capture multiple pieces in one move, you only gain 1 extra turn. You may not capture through the center.

You may safely place a piece sandwiched in between two enemy pieces without it being captured. Once you have placed all your pawns, then your movement phase begins.

On your turn, move 1 piece in a single direction following 1 line through vacant intersections as far as you like or until you run into an obstacle. You may not move through or into obstacles or through the center. You capture pieces by creating sandwiches in the same way as before, gaining an extra turn for each one. There is one new feature, the center of the board acts as half the sandwich for either player when capturing pawns in the innermost ring.

The first player to connect the center circle to the outer edge of the board through a continuous chain of adjacent pawns, wins.
