Rules 5x9 intersecting lines; with a triangle formed by lines drawn from the second and fourth line of one of the short sides of the rectangle, with the base and a line bisecting the base of the triangle. One player plays as the General, placed on the central space of the rectangle, and the other player plays as 26 Rebels, places on the intersections of the second, third, and fourth of the long lines. Pieces move one space orthogonally. The General may capture one of the Rebels by hopping over it to an empty space. The General wins by capturing all the Rebels. The Rebels win by blocking the General from moving.
Content "Generalissimi locus est in medio, ubi Circellus reliquis major: & ille insigni quadam arte sigillatum omnes circumfusos & circumpositos Rebelles mira sagacitate vel domat vel ad suas partes allicit. Modus Ludendi talis est. In medio est Dux, contra quem rebellasse supponitur Yang-losu. Orbiculi seu calculi sunt 26, omnes ejusdem coloris, & Dux est alterius coloris, qui hoc ritu collocantur prout in apposito schemate cernitur. Dux utrinque habens unum, potest utrumque capere, quod & semper facit sive sint ante sive post, si modo sint in recta linea & ille sit in medio utriusque situs. Sed si sit tantum unus ei proximus, sive a dextra sive a sinistra, tum Dux non potest eum capere. Hoc modo, dato spatio, movet se; & miles unus aut alter subsequitur eum capturus: tum vero ille subducit se in alium locum commodiorem, & duos capit. Sed si tandem adductus sit in extremum angulum acutum superiorem, tum non potest amplius exire, sed ipse in angulo latere coactus capitur; quod alias nunquam sit, nisi in illo extremo angulo ubi ille non potest capere, quia non habet juxta se in linea recta aliquos capiendos, & ille sit coactus in angulum unde nullum est effugium. Et sic finitur Lusus." Hyde 1694: 215-216.
