Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
Learn from a sample situation
An adjacent enemy with an empty square beyond it requires a jump rather than a quiet move. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.
An important reminder
These are English short-king rules, not international flying kings. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
