Each player has three balls.  <br>
Players take turns moving.  <br>
Moves are made in a clockwise  <br>
direction. The amount is determined  <br>
by the number of balls  <br>
that the two players hold  <br>
in their fists, from 0 to 3.  <br>
And the move is the total  <br>
of the two fists.  <br>
When a piece lands on a space marked with a white circle it moves  <br>
into the next inner space. On a black it moves out.  <br>
When a piece lands on a space with the opponent's piece, that  <br>
piece moves out a circle, unless it is in the outside circle  <br>
If it lands on a black or white circle that circle is followed.  <br>
First to reach the center wins.  <br>
When each player holds 0 balls the piece doesn't move and it  <br>
is considered a new entry into that space.  <br>
Can also be played by 3 or 4, each player's move is determined  <br>
between him and the next player.  <br>
