How to Play:
The game is set up by spacing the bamboo pieces equally and setting up six red and six black pieces at either end. Six pieces of each color are also placed separately along the sides in between the bamboo. In turn, players take any piece of their color and move it one space toward their opponent’s side. Then, the same player makes a follow-up move with any of their pieces based on how many other game pieces were in the row where the first move was made.
How to Win:
Once both player’s pieces have passed each other on the game board, the game is over. Various points are awarded for pieces that have made it onto, or close to, the opponents starting area. The player with the most points is the winner.
