Salta

Period

Category Board, Race, Fill

Description

Salta was invented by Konrad Heinrich Büttgenbach in 1899. It is related to Halma.

Rules

Players alternate moving their pieces forward or backward diagonally. A piece may also jump over one adjacent piece of the opponent diagonally forward. This does not capture the opponent's piece. Jumps are compulsory. A player cannot block the other player's pieces such that he or she cannot perform a legal move. The player that can first bring each of their pieces seven rows forward is the winner. The pieces must retain their original order in each row.
