HOW TO PLAY

1. Two sides: the defenders (light) with their king 👑 in the middle, and the attackers (dark) around the edges. Attackers move first.
2. Every piece moves in a straight line, any number of empty squares, like a rook in chess. No jumping, no diagonals.
3. Capture an enemy piece by trapping it between two of your pieces, in a line. You must move to make the trap; walking in between two enemies is safe.
4. The middle square is the throne and the four corners are refuges. Only the king may stop on them, but they help you trap enemies too.
5. Defenders win when the king reaches a corner. Attackers win when they trap the king: by two attackers out in the open, or on all four sides when he is on or next to the throne.
6. ⚠️ Danger shows red rings on your pieces that could be captured next move. 💡 Hint shows a good move.
