Why play on Rondo
How to play
The goal
Capture all of your opponent's pieces or leave them with no legal move.
Moving and capturing
Pieces move one square diagonally forward. If an opposing piece can be jumped into an empty square, you must jump — and keep jumping while you can. A piece reaching the far row becomes a king and moves backwards too.
Draws
A position repeated three times, or a long stretch of king moves without a capture, ends the game as a draw.

- Install Rondo and tap the game. No sign-up.

- Say hi in the chat room for your language, challenge friends, play by mail when you’re busy.
