Press Play. The board has 64 squares, and only the 32 dark squares are used. Your 12 cookies fill the dark squares of the three rows nearest you, at the bottom of the screen, and Otis’s 12 face them. By default you play the chocolate pieces, and chocolate always moves first.
On your turn, tap one of your ringed pieces, then tap a lit square to move it there. A piece that is not a king moves one square diagonally forward onto an empty dark square.
To capture, jump diagonally over an opposing piece that sits next to yours onto the empty square just beyond it. If the same piece can then jump again, it must keep going in the same turn. Jumping is compulsory: when any jump is available you must take one, though you may choose which.
When one of your pieces reaches the far row it is crowned a king, and that ends its move, even in the middle of a jump. A king moves and jumps one square diagonally in any of the four directions.
You win by taking all of Otis’s pieces or by leaving him with no legal move on his turn. The game is a draw if the same position comes up for the third time with the same player to move, or after 40 moves each with no capture and no uncrowned piece moved.
Controls
Touch or mouse: tap one of your ringed pieces, then a lit square. You can also drag a piece onto its square. In a multi-jump, tap each landing in turn. Tap the picked-up piece again to put it down. Undo, Hint and Menu sit on the shelf below the board, or beside it on a wide screen.
Keyboard: the arrow keys move a visible focus between the dark squares, and Enter or Space picks up the piece in focus and moves it to the square in focus. U undoes, H shows a hint, and Escape puts a piece down or takes back an unfinished jump.
Restart in the toolbar starts a new game. Menu starts a new game, changes Otis’s level, your side, the jumping rule and the move speed in Settings, and shows your statistics and the rules. The toolbar also has pause, help, optional sound and fullscreen.
