When one of your pieces reaches the farthest row from you (your opponent's back row), it gets "crowned" and becomes a King. Kings can move and capture diagonally in both directions — forward and backward — making them significantly more powerful than regular pieces.

You win by either capturing all of your opponent's pieces or putting them in a position where they have no legal moves left. Strategic planning, controlling the center of the board, and setting up multi-jump sequences are key to consistent victories.
