Rules
  • You control one piece (yellow square).
  • Capture a piece to transform into it.
  • Clear every piece to win.
  • If you have no captures, you lose.
  • The King is just another piece to capture.

How to Play

1

One unbroken chain

You must capture every piece in a single continuous sequence — each capture must follow immediately from the last.

2

Select a piece to start

Click the piece you want to begin with. It becomes your active attacker for the entire chain.

3

Capture in order

Click an enemy piece your attacker can legally take. The attacker jumps to that square and becomes the next attacker.

4

Clear the board

Continue until every piece has been captured. If you reach a dead end, undo and try starting from a different piece.
