Race your ten marbles across a six-pointed star-shaped board to occupy the opposite corner, hopping over other players' pieces in a colourful strategy game for two to six players.

The Essentials

How to play

  1. Set up the star-shaped board with 2, 3, 4, or 6 players, each filling one triangular point with their own colored marbles.
  2. Your goal is to move all your marbles across the board into the point directly opposite your starting triangle.
  3. On your turn, move one marble either a single step to an adjacent empty hole, or make one or more consecutive jumps over other marbles (yours or an opponent's) into empty holes beyond them.
  4. Jumped marbles are never removed — jumping is purely a way to move faster across the board.
  5. Plan chains of jumps to cross large distances in a single turn, since jumps can be linked together as long as each lands on an empty hole.
  6. The first player to move all their marbles into the opposite point wins; remaining players can keep playing to decide further placings.
