Games for Loved Ones

Options

Red goes first. Players take turns.
Pieces move one square on a slant, forward, on the dark squares.
To take a piece, jump over it to the empty square just past it. You never have to take; it is your choice.
After a jump you may keep jumping with the same piece. Pick the next square to keep going, or pick the piece again to stop there.
Reach the far side and your piece becomes a king (marked ♔︎).
Kings move and jump forward and backward.
The game ends when one side has no pieces left or cannot move.
Undo takes back the last move, any time.
