NekonyancerWelcome to *Konane,* the traditional Hawaiian capturing game!
Your *[blue]objective[/blue]* is to be the *last* one to be able to make a move. In other words, if your opponent cannot make a move, you win!1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerUnfortunately, the way this game was coded does not allow for any interactivity, but we can still learn this great game! :D2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerAs you can see, the game is played on a square grid, with stones laid out in an alternating pattern.
We're playing as *black,* and black always has to go first.3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerFor our first turn, we must remove one of our stones from the board. We only have four options for this: [red]*the corners*[/red] and [blue]*the two in the middle.*[/blue]4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000knn_cell-0 1 knn_cell-27 2 knn_cell-36 2 knn_cell-63 1
NekonyancerIf this were a real game, you'd simply click on a stone to remove it.
We'll remove... uh... *this one!*5knn_cell-36000knn_cell-36 16
NekonyancerNow our opponent must remove one of their own stones from an *adjacent* space.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6348b972b836000
NekonyancerFrom now on, on our turn, we must use one stone to *jump over* an opponent's stone, *capturing it.* This can only be done if there's an empty space on the other side for our stone to land on.
Looks like we have three options this turn. BGA has helpfully highlighted those checkers in white.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6348b9752ed9a00knn_cell-20 10 knn_cell-38 14 knn_cell-52 15
NekonyancerIn a real game, you'll have to select a *stone* and then a *destination.*2knn_cell-386348b9752ed9a00knn_cell-36 18 knn_cell-38 17
NekonyancerHmm. Maybe that wasn't the best move. You see, *double jumps* are possible in this game, and we've set up our opponent perfectly!
They can jump over one stone and then another, finally landing *[red]here![/red]*1knn_cell-356348b978068b700knn_cell-33 9 knn_cell-35 9 knn_cell-37 1
Nekonyancer*That's pretty much it!* The game will continue as you've seen, with players jumping over their opponent's stones, until one player is unable to make a move.
[green]When that happens, their opponent wins![/green]1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6348b97bc233b00
