SOLDIERS - The move and capture rules for soldiers are the same as in Draughts.
DRAGON - The Dragon (herein represented by stacks of 3 stones) move and capture like Kings in International Checkers.
KINGS - Both soldiers and Dragons promote on last row to International Checkers Kings, with one exception:
Unless there is no alternative, a capture may not end on the edge of the board.
CAPTURES - Captures are mandatory, but the player can choose the capture sequence.
GOAL - Wins the player that first achieves one of the following things:
Capture or block all enemy pieces
If the game arrives at a position where nobody is able to capture anything else, wins the one with more pieces (of either type).
If this number is equal, the game is a draw.
