Sukkah
-
An ancient Persian game combining elements of [checkers] and chess.
Uses board of checkers/chess and checkers pieces.
[Set-up] is like checkers, except each player sets up pieces on opposite-colored spaces.
Regular moves are made diagonally like in regular checkers.
Capturing is done by moving ones piece in a straight line two spaces in which there is an [opponents] piece in the space between. Pieces that are not queens or kings can only [capture] by [moving forward].
A piece that reaches the opposite end does not become a king. It becomes a queen, and it can move diagnolly (without capturing) a single space in any direction, and it can capture by moving either forward or laterally.
A queen that returns to the players own end safely becomes a king. A king can move diagnolly any number of spaces in a single direction on a single move (without capturing), and can capture by moving in any direction.
All types of pieces may capture multiple opponents pieces on a single move if possible given their abilities described above.
Winner is last player with a legal move.
