GOBS

Gobs is played on a 9x9 square board with the following setup:

 

TURNS - At each turn, each player must do one of the following things: Slide a stone thru one or more empty cells in any orthogonal or diagonal direction (like the chess Queen) Jump over an enemy stone in move range, landing on the immediate empty cell. The jumped stone changes color and becomes friendly. Jumps are multiple and are not mandatory. Capture a stone in move range by replacement.  Adjacent stones cannot be captured. GOAL - A player wins by reducing the opponent to 4 stones. If a player just has 5 stones, he must reduce the opponent army on that turn. If he reduces to 5 stones, the game is a draw; if he reduces to less than 5 stones he wins; otherwise he loses.

 

A capture/jumping example The black stone can capture by replacement the stone at a9. It can also jump over 3 white stones (landing from [1] to [3] and changing them to 3 black stones. However, it cannot capture the marked white stone because they are both adjacent.
