They are lined up at respective players short side of the table.<\/p>\n<p><strong>STANDARD MOVEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>White starts. The players take turns to make their moves.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As standard, you move your pieces one step at a time, diagonally. You are allowed to move in any 4 diagonal directions, as long as none of your other pieces occupy the space.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve made your move, the turn changes to your opponent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ELIMINATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Should you move diagonally to a position occupied by your opponents piece, his piece will be eliminated and taken off the board.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>THE BONUS METER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>The Bonus Meter starts at 0.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For every standard movement you make, be it only movement or eliminating an opposing piece, you gain 1 extra step on the Bonus Meter. These Bonus steps can be used any time it is your turn. When using the Bonus steps, you reset your Bonus Meter to 0.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The maximum Bonus steps is 3. If you by the start of your turn have 3 Bonus steps, the Bonus Meter will be reset to 0 after you make your move, whether you choose to use them or not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>USING THE BONUS STEPS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>These steps give you the possiblity to travel vertically or horizontally (4 directions ) BEFORE you make your standard move. You may only move to free squares, without jumping over other pieces, using bonus steps.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When using the bonus steps, you have to use the full amount, on one piece.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For example: You have 3 Bonus steps when it becomes your turn. You take 3 steps in a vertical or horizonatal line (4 directions) where there are no other pieces in the way (not 1, or 2 steps, but the full amount you\u2019ve acquired), and end you move with a standard movement (still with the same piece, in any 4 diagonal directions), eliminating a opposing piece with a diagonal step.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WINNING<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Eliminate all 6 pieces of your opponent, or reach his short-side with any of your own pieces, be it with movement only, or by eliminating an opposing piece still standing<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DEVELOPMENT<\/strong> TEAM<\/p>\n<p>Andreas Wieslander<br \/>\nChristian Wall<br \/>\nDavid Hammarstr\u00f6m<br \/>\nStefan H\u00e4rnstr\u00f6m<br \/>\nUlf Sj\u00f6str\u00f6m<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-0d26c67d8d91c8a850950c746ed41804\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-0d26c67d8d91c8a850950c746ed41804{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-0d26c67d8d91c8a850950c746ed41804 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_comments_list '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='av-buildercomment av-av_comments_list-56c66b2695468e12d3120bc7169a9873  av-blog-meta-author-disabled av-blog-meta-comments-disabled av-blog-meta-category-disabled av-blog-meta-date-disabled av-blog-meta-html-info-disabled av-blog-meta-tag-disabled'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,105,103],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-portfolio-eng","category-social-wall"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chromatic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chromatic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chromatic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chromatic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chromatic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=561"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/chromatic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4543,"href":"https:\/\/chromatic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561\/revisions\/4543"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chromatic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chromatic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chromatic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chromatic.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
