Summary
These rules are contradictory to those described from Armenia in the early twentieth century, as the board and capturing by promoted pieces are different.
Description
Rules described on Wikipedia.
Rules
Played on an 8x8 board. 16 pieces per player, lined up in the second and third rows. A piece can move forwards, straight ahead or diagonally, or sideways to an orthogonally adjacent field if that field is empty, and capture opponents' pieces by jumping left, right, or forwards. When they reach the opposite side, they become a king, which may move in all directions (up, down, left, right, or diagonally), as long as the path is clear of pieces, and can jump opponents' pieces from any distance orthogonally. Captures must be taken if possible, and the maximum number of jumps must be made. Multiple captures cannot be made by moving 180 degrees from the previous jump. Pieces can be promoted to king mid-jump. Winning is achieved by capturing all of the other player's pieces or by blocking them so they cannot move.
