Each player takes a set of 5 (as divided). Each player in turn places   <br>
a pc., with his side up, on the board. Once a piece is down a player   <br>
in subsequent turns may either place another piece or move one already   <br>
down, by a king's move. A player can jump an opponent's piece, which is   <br>
removed, turned and can be used by the capturer. A jump must be made unless <br>
the player can move a green design piece instead. If the same jump is still   <br>
around on subsequent moves, the player is not compelled to either jump or make another green move.  <br>
A player wins when he gets a row of 5 with his color on top with the   <br>
designs in order R-G-R-G-R. The last piece must be moved into place,  <br>
not put on. If opponent tries to stop a row of 4 from being completed, he must   <br>
use a properly colored design to maintain the alternate pattern & it must be moved.. (Not sure if I have it 100% correct, but pretty close.) <br>
There is also a solitaire which seems more interesting. The ten pieces <br>
are placed, black side up, in the pattern as shown.

Make jumps, the jumping piece being of a different color design than the jumped.  When a piece is jumped it is turned over (and since the white <br>
side is not known at the start, you don't know what will show up).  <br>
Win by getting all white sides up. On the way a piece may   <br>
be reversed numerous times. The basic rules allow diagonal <br>
jumps as well as orthogonal. A harder game is with only   <br>
orthogonal jumps allowed.
