Drag and drop a white piece to the board so it captures a black piece. Each move you capture any of the opponents pieces that are surrounded (vertically, horizontally or diagonally) by two of your pieces. The idea is to end up with more pieces than your opponent. If you run out of pieces, you can right-click to flip one of your opponent's pieces to flip it over.
